The Captain's Dirty Secret

Openly gay rookie Oliver becomes the target when vice-captain Chase falsely accuses him of harassment. Captain Julian, who keeps his own sexuality hidden from the team, is close enough to the situation to act, yet he watches the accusation unfold with a cold, distant stance. Oliver is left to face the charge alone while Julian's silence raises the stakes between them. The central conflict pits Oliver's reputation and safety against a captain who is protecting a secret of his own.
