A Steel City Story
Homeless pickpocket Kai Alwright steals a cell phone and some cash one day only to find the owner texting him, appealing to his better qualities. The request to return the phone stings Kai's pride; he rides his rusty bicycle all the way to the stables north of the city, where Attila Keleman, the phone's owner, offers him a new start in the form of a job and a roof over his head. Soon Kai discovers a natural talent for work with horses, and he makes every effort to separate his new existence from his promiscuous past on the streets.
Attila is a reclusive horse trainer whose dressage trophies gather dust, and whose broken heart has been walled off. His undiagnosed Asperger's makes life around people a challenge, but though he prefers the company of horses, Attila finds Kai's presence tolerable--even refreshing.
When a client who rides at the stable with her daughter finds out Attila is "still gay," she tries to run Kai off--and she doesn't stop there. Mortified, her adult daughter runs away and falls victim to a dark figure from Kai's past. Kai joins Attila in a rescue mission that tears the civilized masks off their hidden pasts.
