Three people trapped in dead-end situations give up nearly everything they've ever known hoping to find a better future:

* Otis lives alone and without prospects in a dying Nevada village. He has lost hope the man who took advantage of him years ago will return and now dreams of becoming a porn star.

* Jared, an abused runaway, can't stay forever with the kindly trucker who picked him up hitchhiking. They need to find a safe place for him to live.

* Larry Jordan, a closeted collector of valuable gay erotica, fears the residents of his conservative, middle-class community will soon discover his secret life. He has just one friend, whom he met only recently.

Three gay men who don't know each other and never will, but whose stories intertwine in unusual and unexpected ways...

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: This is an ecclectic collection. Even I don't know quite what to make of this novel.
