Gary's lived with bipolar disorder since he was eighteen. He has a great career, family and friends, but at forty he's never felt stable enough to have a relationship. This changes the moment he meets Jeff. There's no doubt in Gary's mind that Jeff's The One. Jeff is equally smitten, but he only wants a friend with benefits—he works insane hours and his last relationship was so abusive he's ruled them out for good. Gary does his best to settle for things the way Jeff wants, hoping he’ll come around. But despite his loving demeanour, Jeff won’t budge. Gary's confidence begins to erode. Maybe he doesn't deserve more. After all, he's flawed. Damaged goods. Bipolar. When Jeff makes a devastating announcement one night, Gary resorts to drastic measures to try and save both his mental health and the only love he’s ever known.
