When Stan and Kyle discover their true feelings for each other, their time is cut short when Kyle receives news he is moving out of the country. Two years later, nobody has heard a word from Kyle. Kenny is developing new feelings for Stan, but Stan's curiosity of Kyle's disappearance leads him to find his best friend and lover, no matter the cost. After a breakup with Stan, Wendy seeks a new love interest, and finds herself falling in love with Craig Tucker. But even her new love has some demons of his past.
