Unwelcome Home

Two broken lives meet in Alvarado, seeking a welcoming home and a second chance.Five years ago, Clint Shepfield broke the town of Alvarado apart when he used his fists to break Samuel Garrett's body. In prison, Clint's had plenty of time to deal with the guilt and accept the real reasons behind his actions. He's now accepted his homosexuality, Sam has forgiven him, and he's being encouraged to return to the town he thought would never welcome him home.In the blink of an eye, and the stomping boots of drunk bullies, Rick Santos lost everything. Once a track star in the making, Ricky's been left confined to a wheelchair, his hopes for the future gone. His happy zeal for life is taken over by a pessimistic, bitter attitude, leaving Sam and Cody at their wits' end. The first time Ricky snaps at Clint, everyone is surprised when Clint bites back.Clint makes it his mission to get Ricky out of his funk and out of that chair. Maybe if he can help Ricky stand up straight again, Clint will be able to do the same. But, not everyone in Alvarado is ready to welcome them into the community, leaving Clint and Ricky dealing with the possibility of being unwelcome home.
