B-Sides

Country music singer J.R. Hall sacrificed his love and any on-going shot at personal happiness in exchange for his country music career, all because he bought into the unspoken custom in Music City that “there’s no gay in country music.”

Apparently, no one told Wyatt Ford about that rule. He moved to Nashville to host a syndicated morning radio show with his old college buddy. But when life doesn’t work out like Wyatt planned, he finds himself, for all practicality, back in the closet.

When J.R. and Wyatt meet, they find something in each other they didn’t expect— another shot at happiness. Having both lost their A-side loves can two B-sides make a hit?
