description: A life of wealth and privilege doesnt equal happinessjust ask Eric Courtland. Growing up with a cold unfeeling father and unstable mother has taught him exactly what he doesnt want out of life or love. The troubled young man prefers a solitary life and is content to keep it that way until a campus emergency saddles him with an unwanted roommate.Popular wholesome straight Nick Thompson is far more temptation than Erics prepared for but Nicks warm easygoing manner gradually cracks through Erics prickly protective shell.After Eric suffers a traumatic attack their friendship gives way to an intense passion. Erics no stranger to casual sex but what he feels for Nick is something deeper and more fragile.Independent Eric doesn't know the first thing about being in a relationship much less with a lover who can't even admit he's gay. But conservative Nick can't seem to find his way out of his own personal closet. 'Rock' meet 'Hard-Place'.
