There are those we'd run back into the flames to save.Jamie spends his days counseling patients who suffer from anxiety disorders. To his patients, he is Dr. Jamie Scarborough—a brilliant psychiatrist. Yet secretly, Jamie is losing his own battle against an acute panic disorder. Ever since Basil—his lover of five years—left him, Jamie has been in misery. Still hopelessly in love, he's faced with a choice: heal or lose Basil for good.After a particularly revealing session with Dance Young—Jamie's most challenging patient—Dance disappears without a trace. For the last two years, Jamie has been trying to crack the compulsive liar's hard candy surface, but to no avail. When Dance's identical twin, a trans woman who calls herself September, comes out of seclusion to ask for his help, Jamie can finally shed light on the Young twins' tragic past. But as he and September begin to collect the pieces of their dismantled lives, a few streets away, captive of a mentally unstable firefighter, Dance is fighting for his own life. And to find Dance, Jamie will have to confront all of his monsters...Including those he unknowingly helped create.
