And no matter how much Lucas wants it to be true, saving Gabriel won’t make up for not being able to save his mom. Gabriel’s internal struggles are serious…dangerous.

Their pipe dream was to someday meet in LA, where Lucas would design skyscrapers, and Gabriel would learn to fly. They were only trying to deal with bad situations at home when they became lifelines for each other. Lucas Barnett and Gabriel Stewart didn’t have it easy as kids.
