At first, he thrives, effortlessly forming friendships and even a romantic relationship that he thinks will last a lifetime. But Luke has aspirations far bigger than the show's million-dollar prize, and soon a series of betrayals leads to irreversible tragedy, changing the course of his and his fellow contestants' lives forever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ten years later, Luke's world looks very different: He is now a father of two and the stay-at-home husband to America's only openly gay senator.
