Two gay law students battle the Catholic Church over a straight friend who is expelled from law school because he associates with them. Grant Sterling is a U.S. Army platoon leader who lost a leg in Iraq and decides to go to law school with his blind friend Lazar Adzic after they return from defeating a Russian/Serbian cyberattack on the United States. Chad Wilbourne, the accused classmate, is a former college football quarterback who is bewildered and terrified by accusations that he is the leader of a "homosexual ring."Finding support only from Grant and Lazar at first, he decides to fight back. Lazar's boyfriend, Brad Brookfield, is already a lawyer and is employed by a secretive intelligence service specializing in communications security. Grant's boyfriend, Jovan Fabce, is getting his PhD in computer and communications science. Together, the team fashions innovative legal strategies and deploys unusual eavesdropping techniques to gather evidence. Physical disability becomes a source of strength and solidarity. Love appears unbreakable. As the battle unfolds, however, secrecy spawns bouts of jealousy that threaten to infect their lives, shatter confidence, and undermine the cause.
