Can't Let Go

Trevor and Joshua have been together for twenty years. They share a love and a

life together. Then the unthinkable happened and Joshua is forced into early

retirement. After that, they've become polite strangers who lived in the same

house. Unable to readjust after twenty-five years of being a cop, Joshua

Dimmick withdraws not only from everyone around him, but the person who

matters most to him. Joshua is distant and quiet, and not sharing with Trevor

about what's going on in his head and his heart. Trevor Emerton easily moves

from the academic life as a professor of art history, into the daily humdrum

life in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He knows he wants to spend his life with

Joshua, but living with him hasn't been easy. Trevor finds it difficult to get

through Joshua's indifference about a life not revolving around work. Joshua

doesn't know how to make Trevor understand that being a cop isn't something he

can turn off overnight.Then there's a fire next door. Joshua begins to think

there's more to the neighbor's death than just an accident. He wants to

convince Trevor in seeing that the neighbor was murdered. To do that, Trevor

has to be willing to see the world the way Joshua does as a former homicide

detective. When things start unraveling, Joshua doesn't know if he's imagining

things or if there's a connection between their neighbor's death and an

unsolved murder from years ago. Joshua will do whatever it takes to get

through the mystery. Trevor must decide if he believes Joshua, if he's willing

to follow him though the mystery, or if there's something else going on.
