Publisher's Synopsis
Wannabe film student Adam is seventeen and being asked out on his first date. Heart racing, he accepts, quickly falling in love with Callum, just like the movies always promised. On his eighteenth birthday, Ben is forced out of his home after his mother finds his stash of gay magazines. But in New York City, his sexuality begins to feel less like a secret and more like a badge of honour. Then Callum disappears, leaving Adam heartbroken, and Ben realises his new world is more dangerous than he thought. When Adam finds Callum again, he learns the boy he loves will die. But in a chance meeting on the Christopher Street piers, Ben and Adam fall into each other's orbit, opening their eyes and hearts to the possibilities of gay love and life.
