Another month passes that changes Alex's life forever.
Everything was different.
Alex recuperates and returns to school, a school that knows that he is gay and that he had “almost” died.
Alex's circle of friends seems to be shrinking, both at home and at school, and even his favorite teacher now treats him differently.
The week of final exams arrives, and Alex finds himself barely keeping up with current lessons. Distractions like Erich, and other old friends as well, take up his time, as well as new ones, like Kevin and the gang, and David. Surprising acquaintances vie for his time and lead him into a strange circle of friends, and Alex wasn't sure he could do what they wanted him to do.
Torn apart from the familiar support of the Circle, and moving in a strange new circle of friends, he is stunned to come face to face with a specter from his past from even before Toby.
And the nightmares…
How much more could he handle?
