#1 in LGBTQ, HOMOEROTIC, & more || Jason and Johnny, the high school football team star players, come out on Facebook as gay lovers and all hell breaks loose. The boys' lives, and those of some of their teammates who in turn come out to them, are plunged into a spotlight of scrutiny as they bust out to be who they really are in a small American boondock town not quite ready for it. Fueled on by a jealous rival, the boys go from popular local heroes to the very center of the biggest scandal ever to hit town, having to face a pandemonium of reaction from every direction. Romantic, spicy, filled with excitement and danger, this is a timely tale of both the challenge and the joy of living life on one's own terms and how gay love survives in a world still tottering on the brink of enlightenment.
