| Abstract |
New York City, 1990. Film fanatic Adam is seventeen and on his first date, quickly falling in love with Callum like the movies always promised. Fashion-obsessed Ben is eighteen and has just left his home upstate after his mother discovers his hidden stash of gay magazines. When Callum disappears, it leaves Adam heartbroken. Ben finds out his new world is more closed-minded than he thought. In a chance meeting near a hospital where Callum is being treated, Ben and Adam meet. As both begin to open their eyes to the possibilities of queer love and life, they realize sometimes the only people who can help you are the people who can really see you-- in all your messy glory. -- adapted from jacket |
