When stock boy Devon Gangon finds out he has to train a new employee at the grocery store where he works, Jace Perez is not what he expected. Jace is shy but talkative about all the right things, including Devon's favourite punk band, Nine Volt Start. Over the course of a few weeks, they become closer and closer, and their stray touches finally build up to a tryst in the back room. Nine Volt Start announces a reunion tour, and Devon thinks Jace is the perfect person to go with him. But Jace tells him he'd much rather keep his work and personal life separate and leaves Devon in the cold. With Jace drawing a line, Devon's left wondering if spending his time idolizing a band and not doing anything with his art degree has been worthwhile. He'll be twenty-nine in less than a month and hasn't had a serious relationship in years. Leaning on his brother and best friend for support, Devon realizes he either has to settle for random hook-ups with Jace or push for something more, even if it may hurt in the end.
