Summary
Philadelphia, 2020.
Dean Winchester has been working as a detective for years, and he’s tired. Bone-tired, burnt out and carrying the weight of an alcohol issue he refuses to acknowledge. He’s also a husband and a father to 3 kids, even though lately he’s been forgetting that part.
Castiel Novak has been an attorney for the better part of the last decade, and Dean’s husband for 15 years. And he’s tired—tired of carrying the weight of his family on his own; tired of fighting so his marriage doesn’t crumble.
It all comes to a head when Marla Ashford’s case explodes: she's a candidate for the next mayoral campaign, and when her deputy fundraiser is killed, she asks Cas to defend her. Unfortunately, Dean is the lead detective on the case… And neither of them plans on letting go.
Between arguments, kids being way too perceptive, and Dean’s issues with alcohol, what could go wrong?
This is a story about a family fighting to stay whole while the world explodes around them; a high-stakes domestic drama and legal thriller rolled into one. One where Dean’s fight with alcohol becomes the center of everything, and they could lose it all.
Can they make it to the end of the line together?
