DESCRIPTION:
And as their relationship intensifies, Rafe and Colin are forced to dredge up secrets that both men would prefer stay buried.. But down that path lie the troubles Rafe has worked so hard to leave behind. The only thing in Colin Mulligan's life that makes sense is taking cars apart and putting them back together. He's dedicated his life to social justice work and to helping youth who, like him, had very little growing up. Somehow, everything about miserable, self-destructive Colin cries out to him.
