When Sam encounters the main suspect, seventeen-year-old orphan Damon Blake, he's not sure what to do. Obstruction might land him in jail, but he is increasingly skeptical of Damon's guilt. He takes matters into his own hands and investigates, but doing so means keeping Damon's whereabouts a secret from Nathan and the police. Meanwhile, Nathan wonders what Sam is hiding and grapples with insecurities of his own. Sam wants to confide in Nathan, and Nathan wants to trust Sam, but they discover that negotiating new love can be as dangerous as solving crime.
