Description:In high school, Nick
Torres and Angelo del Valle were inseparable, outsiders who found
strength in friendship. The bond between the gay, mixed-race teens
turned isolation into brotherhood. Overachieving loner Angelo became
"big bro," looking out for cocky, mischievous "little bro" Nick. But
everything changed when Nick fell in love and moved away. Angelo tried
to be happy for his dear friend, seeking solace in his college studies
and a lonely string of one night stands.
Then, one late night two
years later, Angelo's phone rings. Nick is back in town, and he needs
his big bro's help. Nick's dream life has become a nightmare, and he's
come to the one person he could always trust for shelter. But when Nick
looks to Angelo for more than brotherly affection, Angelo is left to
wonder if Nick's feelings are genuine or an effect of his trauma. And if
those feelings are genuine, Angelo must then decide if his own feelings
for Nick have grown into something deeper as well.
