Ray a boy about 19, who is or was an assassin gets caught by a woman and taken to jail. Some of his jail mates have stories of their own. The title doesn't relate at all.
pete is kind of lonely. he's surrounded by so many people, but most of them just want to get into his pants or want his stupid social status. patrick is more than 'kind of' lonely.
and pete wants him more than he's wanted anybody else in his shitty seventeen years of life.
