After the death of their father, the Scamander boys set off to look for jobs to pay bills. Newt gets a job oversees in America, as a a servant to one of the most powerful families in New York.

Newts experience with animals immediately places him in caring for his employers horses. As for his employer himself, he never met the man (not that it bothered him).

Newt meets a man outside the stables by accident one day. The man asks Newt to call him Percy and soon a beautiful friendship blooms. They go form meeting once a week at the stables to everyday and Newt begins to feel something for his riend.

When Newt discovers the truth about Percy… he is embarrassed, shocked, upset, then even more embarrassed. Percy… short for Percival… Percival Graves. The name of his employer and master of the mansion… Why didn’t he make the connection?!

Newt at first rationalizes to himself why they can’t be together (as much as it hurts him). So he avoids Percival like the plaque and unfortunately for him, Percival does not like being ignored. Since Percival is master of the house… he can control where all his servants are, that includes Newt.

Things get worse when Percival's ‘fiancé’ Leta and her creepy uncle Grindelwald decide to visit for a month. Why is Newt’s life like this?
