Sometimes forgiving is hard to do when you’re too stubborn to forget! 

Bentley (Ben) Carter-Harrison survived a rough childhood by never letting his guard down, and never forgiving those who hurt him. So what is he supposed to do when his estranged father shows up out of nowhere asking for forgiveness? If you ask Ben, he’d say nothing. However, his down to earth husband, Ryder Harrison has a different point of view and thinks that maybe Ben is over reacting. 

Not wanting to back down, Ben fights Ryder on rekindling his relationship with his father. When that doesn’t make him feel better, he starts fighting Ryder on everything else in their life. Things aren’t as easy as he thought it would be and it all ends up being too much for Ben. So, Ben does what he’s always done…he pushes Ryder away. Pushes him so hard in fact that Ryder turns to his long time crush and best friend Landon Pennington. 
With their relationship in jeopardy and Ben’s father back in the picture, both Ryder and Ben have a lot at stake. They either learn to forgive or can forget about their happy ever after!
