Aiden, 16 year old. Wandering through school. Over coming obstacles and relationship(s).

Damien's mom has fallen in love, and the side affect of this is that he is now being forced to spend an eight hour drive, and the rest of his life, with a stepbrother who he cannot stand. Dallas is everything he hates, and everything he wants. Dallas is NOT his brother, but sometimes Damien wishes that he could be something much more than that.

Phil Weber, a Iowa college math teacher in his mid-twenties, heads off to Mexico for the summer, to try and forget his ex-lover. He's looking for an adventure, and he finds a couple he hadn't expected.

Jared, Mike, and Adrian are like brothers from different mothers, and, like all siblings, whether by genes or chance, they like different things.

Jared wants a relationship, preferably one that lasts beyond a one-night-stand, Mike hides his vulnerable self under the pretense that he is into a niche fetish, and Adrian just likes to have fun.

In their quest to find the particular things that they believe would make them happy, they hook up, meet lovers, strike new friendships, and learn the taste of love and betrayal.
