With his ten-year high school reunion approaching, Harold
wonders whether Mario will be as muscular, sexy, and
tantalizing as he remembers. As a teenager, it was love at
first sight for Harold while tutoring football star Mario,
until homophobia and bullying drove Mario deep into the
closet. Now they re both married men. Mario, a model, is
miserable with his producer wife, while Harold, a teacher,
is perfectly content with his businessman husband, Stuart.
When the two meet again, will the old flame reignite,
setting Harold s comfortable life ablaze? How can Harold be
happy with Stuart when he is still infatuated with his
Adonis, his first love, Mario? Harold faces this seemingly
impossible situation with inimitable wit, tenderness, and
humor as he attempts to reconcile the past and the future.
