Life has not been easy for Oliver ‘Ollie’ Linton. Convicted of killing his abusive father he finds himself serving a nine-year sentence in Hollybrook sharing a cell with mute prisoner, Teddy Saul.
Teddy has a violent reputation on the wing with inmates and officers wary of his grunts, growls and fists. But Ollie sees a different Teddy. Protective and gentle, Ollie can’t help but get close to his cellmate.
There are reasons he shouldn’t.
Like Teddy being inside for killing four people and his previous cellmate Ryan’s death remaining unexplained, but the biggest reason Ollie shouldn’t get too close is for the simple fact Ollie will one day walk free of Hollybrook but Teddy never will.
That day comes far quicker than either of them anticipate when Ollie has the chance to appeal his conviction. At first, Ollie refuses and Teddy is relieved but days pass and Teddy has a change of heart.
They make a deal, Ollie will appeal if Teddy agrees to let him visit and write but Ollie ends up heartbroken when Teddy cuts him out of his life.
He didn’t want Teddy to let him go, he wanted the opposite, for Teddy to hold on even if they were on different sides of the bars.
