The Friend Scheme

Seventeen-year-old Matt is the son of one of the most powerful criminals in the world - and everyone expects him to follow in his fathers dark footsteps. But his fathers world has never suited Matt. His desire for a different life grows when, one night, he meets a boy named Jason. Smart, chaotic, and as disinterested in a life of crime as Matt is, the pair quickly become friends. And when Jason comes out to him, Matt thinks they have a shot at becoming more than that, revealing a part of himself he has long repressed out of fear of his father. As Matt and Jasons connection grows deeper, Matt grows suspicious of his new friends motives. He really does seem like the perfect boy - maybe even too perfect, especially when he starts encouraging Matt to disclose details of his fathers empire. Now Matt must figure out if he can trust his new friend, or his fathers plans for him... and must decide if he can ever do the impossible and come clean about who he really is, and who he is meant to love.
