Sam Hastings has just sold his company and is heading off to start a new life at his home in Tall Timbers, California when he offers a lift to a young guy called Hal Gates. Hal has been working as a gay porn star but is trying to get away from his old life, disillusioned and disgusted by the sex movie business. But the industry isn't ready to let him go just yet, nor is his ex-lover, the brutal, controlling Reach Handy. Sam helps Hal try and sort out his chaotic life but it is difficult for the boy to find a job in the small town. He ends up working with Sam to finish off the new house Hastings has had built overlooking Clearwater Lake, finding a new direction and a talent that he never knew he had. As his life seems to improve, old friends, and old enemies, converge on the small summer community, and Hal finds himself torn between a possibly bright future and a very sordid past.This is a short novella by the author of 'The Gemini and Flowers Mysteries' and 'Nice People' - it is ideal summer reading but does contain some very strong adult themes and language.
