Summary
Mickey Milkovich, 26, is a tough, closeted ex-con and reluctant dance dad doing his best to raise his seven-year-old son, Yev.
Life’s been a grind—he’s broke, burned out, and recently booted from a snooty dance studio after clashing with the elite moms.
Enter Fallen Angel Ballet, a new studio run by Ian Gallagher, a former world-renowned ballerina whose career was tragically cut short by a hate crime.
Mickey doesn’t give a crap about Ian’s past—he just wants a scholarship for Yev. But when the gruff road crew worker and the disciplined dancer collide, sparks fly. Beneath their hardened exteriors, they discover pieces of themselves they thought were long gone.- Language:

Summary
While working the night shift at an old Hollywood hotel with a reputation for being haunted, Mickey makes a strange connection with one of the guests, aspiring actor Ian Gallagher. Except that the hotel has no record of Ian, and no one other than Mickey ever sees him.
The more time he spends with Ian, the less Mickey is sure what is real and what isn’t. But one thing is true: Mickey is going to find a way for them to be together.
