In 1974, Gerry Faun gets the break of his life -- an opportunity to meet gorgeous, openly bisexual, glam-rock idol Mark Devon. Mark's world is new, exciting, and Gerry finally gets to explore the side of his sexuality he's kept hidden. But the press is everywhere, and when Gerry's father gets wind of what's going on behind his back, Gerry ends up on the street. Mark offers to let Gerry come along with the tour and Gerry jumps at the chance. The tour is a never-ending party -- and the start of what seems to be a perfect relationship for him and Mark. Until Mark's manager decides Gerry isn't worth the trouble he's stirring up. In 1994, Gerry is finally coming out of some tough times -- he has a job that pays the bills, a car that hasn't quite broken down, and a small rental in Jersey City. After a decade of barely getting by, if life was as good as it was going to get, Gerry figures he'll manage just fine. It would be easier if he wasn't still haunted by the man the media won't let him forget, the man who stole his heart and then broke it ... the man who’s shown up pleading for a second chance.

Fawn on the Moon

Maxx drew the microphone to his mouth and the second he began to sing, the stage came alive around him: guitars, keyboards, drums. Someone to Gerry’s right screamed in blissful anguish, but whether it was Angie, one of the other girls, or some complete stranger, Gerry couldn’t say. Nor did he wish to find out. His eyes were glued on a sight of supreme perfection. His mind was a million miles away, riding sparkling starships with a beautiful oddity, and drinking champagne from the cupped palms of angels. His heart had been stolen, and Gerry couldn’t care less about ever getting it back.


“I can’t,” Angie said, turning to Gerry with tears streaming down her face. “I can’t leave. Not yet. Not ever. It was so—”


“Perfect,” Gina whispered. “It was just so perfect.”
