Three years ago Erin started dating his best friend, a ballet dancer named Cygnus. Between Cygnus' mental illness, their desire to move forward as partners, and increased demands and stress from his job, an overwhelmed Erin has recently pulled away from his relationship. His struggles with avoidance have left him and Cygnus in a limbo.
However, when Cygnus passes away in a tragic car accident, Erin's decisions are rendered irrelevant. After getting a posthumous email from Cygnus, Erin uses his position at the Department of Last Thoughts and Unspoken Words to review Cygnus' last week and things they left unsaid.
Erin now has to figure out where he stands in relation to his partner, their passing, and where the two of them belonged.
