When Philip finds out his girlfriend of three years whom he thought he would marry hasn't been faithful to him, he's stunned. Since he's bisexual and dreams of having sex with men, he decides to see if his dreams could possibly come true.
Meanwhile, Stuart, the coxswain in Koehler's CalPac Crew series of college rowers, is being pressured by his boyfriend/roommate to defer going to med school and spend a year in England. Not able to persuade his boyfriend that med school is his lifelong dream, Stuart breaks up with him and moves out.
Accidentally meeting at the grocery store where Stuart works, he and Philip hit it off and start dating. But both men have complications in their lives that could keep them apart. And dealing with those problems makes up the bulk of the story.
Both Stuart and Philip are interesting people who are neither all good or all bad. In fact, their human foibles are what make them more than cardboard cutouts. Both have family issues: Stuart was raised by fundamentalist parents who threw him out of the house when he told them he was gay. Philip's father had his other son's gay boyfriend brutally beaten nearly to death.
