Leaving his life in New York City behind, 33-year-old Ira Hughes has moved back into his childhood home to help care for his ailing father. His overbearing mother quickly guilts him into looking after her interests in the family curio shop. That means dealing with her business partner, Colton McCabe, the bully who made Ira's teen years a living hell.
Ira is now forced to confront painful memories from his past.

Could it be that Colton is not the high school horror he used to be? Is the bane of his youth now becoming the love of his life?
