Ian Marlow has everything it takes to be a great mortician - innate kindness, a strong sense of humor, and determined insomnia. Even so, managing a profitable funeral home in the heart of Colorado was never something that the twenty-three year old hoped to do with his life, and Ian is trapped reflecting on the exciting romance he shared with the wild at heart Andrew Reyes in California five years prior. When Alli, Ian's estranged cousin, calls to invite him back to San Diego, Ian realizes that this trip is exactly what he needs - an opportunity to live authentically free from expectation.
