A Second Chances Story Zane Roscoe’s evil day job at a musical instrument store is supposed to teach him responsibility. What he really wants is the fun, excitement and artistic challenge of being a musician. Joshua Norton is in college, training to become a pharmaceutical chemist and he is Zane’s complete opposite: introverted, intellectual and quiet. When the two meet at a gay night club, their relationship begins with a case of mistaken identity and a wounded ego. They try talking but stumble over one miscommunication after another. So Zane decides they better stick to sex—except a series of bumbling disasters, accidents big and small and minor mishaps leads to frustration. Afterward, Zane wants to apologize for his behavior. But Joshua ran, and finding him turns into a test of character, as does earning Joshua’s forgiveness. Can they find the new beginning they need for a second chance at love?
