When Darren's lover moves on, maybe it's finally time to see where that card takes him. Collars & Cuffs' new barman, JJ Taylor, is really conflicted right now.

Old love, new love, vows, pain, rage, moving in, moving on.... The members of Collars & Cuffs face an event that touches some of them deeply, but it will only reinforce what they already know: together they are stronger, and some bonds cannot be broken.
