Ultra hot gay covert operators, Ty and Xander, have trained intensely to be the tip of the spear in a rescue mission to save Garrett, only to find themselves sneaking through fields, huddling in the cold woods for sleep, and sprinting through towns and villages as they race toward safety, seeking refuge in a friendly border nation.

Can their relationship withstand the excruciating stress of running for their lives? Hoping to blend in with rural citizens, they borrow common attire, but three young soldiers still block their way.
