The year is 1976 and Newell has just moved to New Orleans. His good nature, good looks, and a daring stunt in a popular bar make him a fast favorite in the French Quarter. As he is lured into the gay subculture of the late 1970s and into the mad abandon of the city's bar scene, Newell must figure out whom to trust-his life will depend on it. In this fierce, poetic, and heartbreaking tale, Grimsley shows us what can happen when one's wildest dreams are fulfilled.
