After Quentin is horribly injured in a kidnapping, he heads for the Barn, an exclusive club in the Alaskan wilderness that he and his husband co-own with some good friends, to recover. And to hide from the world.
Also to ask for a divorce. He can't cope with the way his husband, and the only man who makes him want to be vulnerable, looks at him these days. He can't bear to see pity in Frost's eyes.
Smokejumper Frost Kelly wants his husband back. He knows he'll take Q any way he can get him. He doesn't care if Q is in a wheelchair, or if he always has to use arm crutches to walk. He just wants them to be okay again. So he take time off work, even though it's fire season, and goes to the Barn to coax Q into living his life.
The two of them have never lost their fire for each other, but they have to work through a lot of guilt and fear, and then deal with Frost going back to a dangerous job, before they might even see if they can make it work. Will they be able to find a new way forward or will they be stuck in the past?
