Bryce wants to do a hard day's work on the ranch. Once his muscles give out and he collapses from exhaustion, maybe he'll stop torturing himself over his late father's horrific double life. The Steels have a different idea. They ask Bryce to take an executive position complete with a profit share. Breathless deals with a wide array of themes including love and loss, family, heartbreak, isolation and loneliness, escape, and identity. Even though Breathless is loosely based on real-life people and events, it is considered a work of fiction
