  Summary

  Chase Hollow, up-and-coming trapeze artist, desperately needs a job. Preferably one that actually has something to do with his art, thank you very much. But at this point, anything will do.
  So, when the legendary Great Keystone Circus needs a new trapeze artist and Chase gets the chance to try for the job, he doesn't think twice before packing a suitcase and running away to join the circus. His cousin Deacon, desperate to get away from his parents' expectations, follows him. But, with a very grumpy trapeze partner and a circus that seems just a little too full of secrets, his path to greatness may not be quite as easy as he imagined. Still, Chase Hollow never quits, and he's determined to win his spot at the circus no matter what it takes (and maybe the heart of a certain colleague of his, while he's at it).
