Five years ago, an accident happened that changed the course of Sam Winchester’s life - and in turn, the life of his brother, Dean, and the Winchester family. Dean wasn’t sure how to deal with the “after,” so he distanced himself from his brother at a time when Sam needed him the most. Now, at Sam’s invitation, Dean has decided to visit him in Boston, where he’s been living on his own. He expects his brother to be struggling, but is surprised to learn that he’s not only surviving, but thriving. Sam has two jobs, graduate school, and amazing friends - including an attractive interpreter named Cas - and although Dean has had some success in his chosen career, he longs for the true happiness Sam has. When Dean seeks Cas’ help to reconnect with his brother, Cas eventually agrees but Dean finds that his usual way of dealing with things won’t work with the captivating man who is firmly in Sam’s corner, and he will have to learn much more than a new language. Dean’s journey forces all three men to confront themselves, and eventually teaches them about assumptions, friendship, and love.
Told from three perspectives, this is a story about love, acceptance, and learning what it truly means to listen.
