Overview

Miniature artist Ian Meyers has one week to rebuild his damaged set. Needing help, he goes to End o' Earth, the local comic and gaming shop. Owner Simon Derry pushes all of Ian's buttons, and he also has steady hands and the skills Ian needs.

Before they can even grab a beer, Ian meets Lydia Derry, Simon's wife. If Ian had any interest in women, he'd suggest a threesome, but then Simon explains that he and Lydia are polyamorous, and if Ian wants Simon, neither of them will complain. If anything, Lydia encourages the relationship.

Ian's all in, and it's fantastic working with Simon to piece together his set and then take each other apart at night. His friendship with Lydia grows too. The only problem is, the more time he spends with Simon, the more he wants everything Simon already has with Lydia: A house. A cat. A commitment. So Ian runs, and shatters the trust he has with them both - right when they need him the most. Piecing their relationships back together might prove harder than a smashed set.
