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.

“Now that,” Mark said, tightening his grip and shaking Gerry as much as he was able, “that was fucking far out! That was…” He lifted his chin and wailed again.


Gerry didn’t know what to say. Was Mark in shock? Yes, it was probably just shock. Shock did weird things to people. He reached up and laid his hand over top of Mark’s. He counted the people that stood around them and did a quick visual for gaping or gushing wounds. At least everyone seemed whole and accounted for. Then he nodded at Phil, who was doing his best to unwind from the hysterical redhead.


“Phil? I think we’re going to need another car.”


“Dodgy,” Mark muttered, staring at the car. “But far out, man. F-a-a-r out.”
