Richard Julian is killed in an automobile accident. In his will he ask his best friend Andrew Lansky to look after his eighteen year old brother Brett who is deaf. Andrew has always been a loner, but he takes one look at the gorgeous sad young man and agrees to take care of him.
Brett is sorry that his brother has died, but he’s always been fiercely independent. He agrees to allow Andrew to care for him, but only if Andrew moves into his home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Andrew wonders what life is like for Brett in his world of silence. Life is not perfect for either of them, but love has a way of breaking the communication barrier.
