Shy, quiet and withdrawn after the death of his long-term lover, Teague seems set on course for spending the rest of his life alone—until he meets the charismatic musician Julian in the safe zone of online chatting.

Though they keep their relationship safeguarded with six degrees of separation, the two are fast becoming passionate lovers, close friends, and trusted confidantes.

When a voice on the phone and a face on the screen are no longer enough to satisfy the two romantics, can Teague find a way to convince Julian to take a chance on him in the real world?
