   Summary

   Mike Wheeler had everything he could ever want. A loving family, a close childhood friend group, and a passionate relationship. His life was painfully picturesque, and he did everything he could to keep it that way. As long as these amazing experiences surrounded him, he would do anything. He was content.

   But in the back of his mind, he always felt unease lingering...how much longer would his facade of happiness last?

   or

   Mike battles internal conflicts that he fails to recognize, inadvertently taking them out on the people he cares about the most.
