Ace cannot stand to be touched. His brothers call him a brat, and after they abandoned him as a kid, he built walls no one is allowed to cross.
Gunner, a veteran living alone in the mountains, finds Ace bleeding from a severe self-inflicted injury and nurses him back to health.
With Gunner, Ace learns he can bear that touch, and calling the mountain man Papa finally feels right.
Then Ace is kidnapped, tied down, and violated, and the progress between them may not survive it.
Gunner intends to tear the world apart until his boy is back where he belongs.
