It was a lonely, frightening existence, until he met the guys at the studios. With his dog, Zephyr, and his new, makeshift family, he has found some kind of peace. Though his new life is far from perfect, he is content.
Then he meets Brodie, and soon Gus wants to shake things up and take back his life.
