From an outsider’s perspective, the Phoenix Club might be just another high-end gay strip club, catering to the taboo desires and fetishes of wealthy men who wish to remain discreet about their preferences. But the Phoenix is so much more than a “workplace” to the owner, Maxwell Raines, and the young men who dance there. Max’s bond with his boys reaches far beyond that of employer and employee. For many of the boys, the club has become the only home they’ve ever known, and Max the only “father” figure to step up and lay claim to them, taking them in, caring for them, protecting them. The Phoenix boys have been through the worst of the worst, but amidst the nightmares both past and present, their love, devotion and faith in one another has risen above the pain and anguish that once crushed them and threatened to break their family apart. Hearts have been healed, lives saved, trust renewed. Now the worst is behind them and for the first time, they begin to relax and enjoy the blessing of their lives. But smaller issues linger over from past events and, if not dealt with, could threaten the newfound peace and contentment.

“Storms never end. There are lulls. There are “calms” at the center. And there are even extended breaks. But life is made up of storms, and they will inevitably hit from time to time. Some will manifest with no more power than a strong gust of wind…others will strike with devastating force.” Storms brew in multiple lives as Axel awaits his fate at the hands of Angel and Maddy – the two boys with most cause to condemn him to hell. And as Carl’s heart begins to trust Lex’s intentions…it is hit with a gale force that sends him reeling. Dane remains caught in his own private whirlwind of guilt, quietly battling the demons of the past while hiding his pain from Angel. And when a destructive storm strikes the heart of Abel’s own little family…all hope of salvation rests in Cole and Gabe’s hands. But can they heal the hurt when, this time, “they” are the cause?
