Ash Mercer is the kind of guy who keeps people at arm's length—tough, guarded, and perfectly comfortable in the shadows. Micah Hayes is his opposite: awkward, clumsy, and endlessly earnest, a lovable outsider who seems to stumble through life… and yet somehow, through every near-disaster, he keeps finding his way into Ash's world.
