Synopsis
Life is good in Boulder, Colorado, in the heady hey-days of the 1970s. Ginsberg and Burroughs are in residence, and gay sexual liberation is both a political statement and a feverish, carnal dream lived out fully in the baths and the bars, in college dorm rooms and parks, in furtive looks and increasingly bold public statements. The world is alive with a new promise. And sex -- glorious, abandoned, intense sex -- is there for the taking. For everyone except King James.
In addition to having the most ironic name ever for a gay man, King is saddled with other troubles. Young and beautiful, he can't seem to follow the only ground rule of his new life: anything goes but falling in love. Instead, the sensitive writer is constantly searching for that elusive connection. It's something he's looked for in every man he's ever slept with -- the cruel, hypocritical Lex; hunky, closeted quarterback, Barry; the charismatic gay-rights leader, Sam; tragic Tim; erotic Matthew; and the uncompromising Theo who reminds King that "It's just sex, remember?"
