Going to college gives eighteen-year-old Trey Porter a chance to experience the world beyond rural Alabama and his overbearing family. After staying in a motel due to a housing error at the school, Trey's friend, Bryce, offers to let Trey stay with him. The fascination Trey feels with Bryce's gorgeous, glamorous, and somewhat outrageous boyfriend, Co-Co, catches him totally off guard, because Trey's never considered himself even remotely gay. At least that's what he's always believed. Trey prides himself on being tolerant, but it's hard to handle the questions he faces about life and himself—and even harder to accept that there might be no simple answers.
