Leigh is young. He's beautiful and 'cock-centric' in the way only horny teen-aged boys can be, so it's not surprising that it dominates his thoughts. His home life isn't perfect - surrounded as he is by his beefy brothers and detached father - but he seems to have made his peace with it. Mostly he's worried that life (ie: the man of his dreams) is going to pass him by if he doesn't go out looking for it him -- or at least place himself somewhere it he can find Leigh.What he finds has him questioning his own understanding of right and wrong and ultimately changes everything.The story starts out feeding you subtle tidbits of information that lead your mind in this direction and that direction while you keep rethinking your expectations of where it's going. Yet none of those possible paths that you think you've figured out are even close to reality.I don't know how to continue without giving too much away. The strength of the story lies in the characters. Self-absorbed but vulnerable, disturbed but innocent ... they are full of constant contradictions that demand your empathy and kind of push aside the 'wrong' because it's somehow not that important any more. Until it is. And then, well, you'll just have to see.
