""Dear World, so, obviously we made a mess of it. Inevitably. Otherwise I wouldn't be writing to you again, would I?""

What do you do when the man who beat your boyfriend into a coma is about to be released from prison? What do you do when that man is your boyfriend's older brother who wants to make amends?

Now a couple, Lou and Joe are struggling to get over the traumatic events of two years ago. When Joe's brother Leon is released from prison, they must decide if either of them are able to forgive and forget what he did. Meanwhile, an unexpected pregnancy throws their lives into chaos and when tragedy reawakens Lou's self-destructive tendencies, she faces losing everything they have built. Can she fight her body image demons once again? Can either of them trust Leon? As Joe and Lou try to decide whether bad people can truly change, they are about to have one mess of a summer.
