Elliot ditched his jock reputation after high school. He happily traded his cleats and shoulder pads for college cafeteria food and seminars notes. Now, without the distraction of football, he has managed to find success at the University of Minnesota. Although there's one problem...Quitting football was easy, but for some reason, he can't quit Pierce Thompson. Born and raised in the hockey state, Pierce is more prideful about representing the golden gophers than he is about being gay...Or bisexual? Pansexual? He's not sure yet. But he's definitely sure he's attracted to his blue-haired roommate named Elliot Norfolk. It wasn't long before arguing about dirty laundry and debating rom-coms turned into something more. Pierce and Elliot don't have much in common, except their dorm room and all the secrets that exist within its walls. But what happens after Elliot moves out? Will they both move on? Or will they find an excuse to remain close?

In the middle of Des Plaines Illinois three boys find themselves in a tangled knot of angsty lust and amateur love. Evan Webster has an average American life. When he isn't at swim practice or the movie theater, he's trying to make time to study biology. He likes Spiderman comics, chocolate chip cookies, and kissing Danny Herrera. Danny Herrera rarely smiles in public. His parents rely on him to help run the family business and take care of his many siblings so his life mainly consists of fixing cars and keeping his head down. His talents include: picking locks, punching people, and cursing in front of elders. In private he lets Evan soften his hard exterior with faint kisses and wandering hands. Jackson Dougherty is Evan Webster's rival. Every year the two boys compete to earn a place in the Swimming State Championships. Evan is always prepared to compete against Jackson in the pool, but he never expected to compete with Jackson for Danny's heart. Unfolding in the early 1980s, the story of these three boys is turbulent complex and unpredictable until the very end.
