A man on the run

Forced to watch as those monsters tortured and killed his friends and the woman he loved, something inside him snapped. When hes finally rescued, everyone has the same questionwhy did he alone survive? Clouded in accusations and haunted by the faces of those he failed, Jesse struggles in civilian life until McKay-Taggart takes him in. Spending time with Phoebe, the shy and beautiful accountant, makes him feel human for the first time in forever. If someone so innocent and sweet could accept him, maybe he could truly be redeemed.
A love they never expected
