He made promises to give support and respect...
He chose a group of men to be brothers, and created bonds as strong as blood ties...
What happens when the oaths he swore as a teenager are resurrected a decade later?
Lee
Sutton is working his way through his PhD at a new college, his old
life left behind years ago. He's become independent, solitary and
driven toward impending success. When he finds that one of his closest
neighbors is a member of the same secret society Lee once belonged to,
Lee's life is thrown into disarray at exactly the wrong moment, and he
has to face new choices, weighted against the past.
Dr.
Joey Reed is a successful chemist, an outgoing and enthusiastically
cheerful man who proceeds to worm his way into Lee's life, believing
them to be long lost brothers, dear to each other simply because they
chose to be, years before they met.
Is it possible that
vows made as a freshman can guide the life of a doctoral candidate
toward happiness? Lee and Joey are only beginning to find out when the
past is brought to the fore, taking them back to the college and home
they'd once shared with a family they'd chosen.
