Billy Bronner is, to all appearances, every inch the 1950s American dream: handsome, clever, captain of the high school football team, looks good enough in tight jeans that people can even forget he's Jewish. Then the new guy on the block, the enigmatic Leonard Nachman, turns his head, and over the summer Billy discovers a new world of romance and love-in a man's arms.But when Kit O'Reilly, Billy's best friend and shadow, comes home after spending the summer with relatives, he finds Billy acting... differently. Soon enough, it becomes obvious that this change is related to Len, and Kit will have to decide if he'll accept the relationship Billy and Len have forged, or if he'll push Billy and their longtime friendship away.
