In his real life, Manu Contrares makes a decent living as a videographer in New York. But when his mother goes into hospice, he heads home to Bay Valley to help take care of her and ends up back at his first job on the janitorial staff of the local college. It feels like a long step down for a proud Hispanic man. Chris Hall loves teaching but hates research. That's becoming a big problem because his third-year faculty review is coming up and if he doesn't make something happen soon, he'll be out. He's spending his nights working in the lab on a Hail Mary attempt to save his job. When the two men meet, it's explosive. And complicated. Chris is lily-white and culturally tone-deaf and Manu's only in town for a short stay. It's a recipe for heartbreak. Still, the pull between them is too strong for either to ignore. Can they overcome their different backgrounds and somehow surmount the geographical problems, or is this a fling that will leave them both more exhausted and lonely than before?
