Summary
On a random morning, Zayn decides to send a text to the people who have been nothing but strangers for almost 10 years. The text starts a chain of conversations that bring the boys back together and brings, eventually, peace with their history and past, something they all need to really heal. Secrets are revealed. Past and present struggles are shared. And everyone opens up and shares their version of the truth which reveals things they never knew about each other and their experience in the band and the years that followed.
Most importantly, they answer the question of whether or not a friendship they once had can somehow fit into the individual lives they'd each built over the past 10 years.
This isn't a reunion of a band but the rebuilding of friendships and that can't happen without addressing what broke those friendships in the first place.

Summary
When Louis fulfilled his dream of signing a record deal, he didn’t realise it would feel so much like signing away his soul. Now, he’s paying the price by tearing himself in two: the famous Louis who gets to live out his popstar fantasy while hiding the biggest part of himself, and the real Louis who has found the man of his dreams, whose name he wants to scream from the rooftops, but has been silenced. When everything around them seems to try to tear them apart, Louis and Harry must cling to one another to stay afloat as they try to navigate their way through the shark-infested waters of the entertainment industry, making many mistakes as they go.
