Oddly enough Stark agrees and things are altered permanently. Stark, computer genius and bona fide nerd, doesn t even pretend to understand Desdemona or her bizarre family. Theater is not Stark s thing, but somehow he winds up backing an experimental play written by Desdemona s brother whom he doesn t even like. Hmmm. . . Stark and Desdemona develop a relationship, which shakes both of them.
Love is a powerful and unpredictable entity.
Stark s existence is further complicated by the arrival of his two half brothers. Stark had never met Jason and Kyle. But, the three shared one thing an unreliable father who was never coming back. So, Stark takes the boys in for summer, teaches them what he can about self-respect, and is at times brutally honest with his younger brothers. The boys are drawn into theater by Desdemona s family and their work with the homeless kids of Seattle.
