Derek Osbourne's life is peaceful, with a routine that allows him to be comfortable, a job as a tattoo artist that pays the rent and provides food, and hey, if he feels lonely, there are worse things in the world.

With his complicated past, Derek is sure that no one will want to deal with the challenges represented by loving someone with a severe form of PTSD.

Especially since the man who has been causing him trouble for years is now in prison, and Derek is responsible for his care.

Derek is resigned to living and dying alone, and maybe that's okay.

Then one night, during a fierce storm, he finds himself trapped in an ATM with an unknown silent man and everything changes.

Basil Shevach is new in Fairfield, there to take over his deceased aunt's flower shop.

He's also deaf, in a small town where he and his sister are the only non-deaf people.

It's not that he doesn't like it there, but he's not sure Fairfield is the place for him.

At least, not until he gets trapped in an ATM with a terrified man during a storm.

He's immediately drawn to this mysterious and incredibly attractive man with vibrant tattoos and haunted eyes, but he's also disappointed because he's already been out with a deaf man and it ended badly.

He promised himself years ago not to make the same mistake again, but for some reason, the scared man trapped in the ATM with him has left an impression on him that he can't shake off.
