Relying on each other's strength and courage, they'll work to destroy one of the most horrific monsters LCR has ever faced. But some secrets can't stay hidden. And sometimes plans fall apart. It'll take every bit of their grit and fortitude for Riley and Justin to stay alive to have the future together they're just now realizing they want more than anything.
