On his 14th birthday, Ian Foster reaches a critical point in his life where he realizes that he can no longer withstand the burden of his self-denial that he is gay. But he feels he can not come out to his mother, Linda , who has strong views against the gay community and takes great pride in believing that her son is a "ladies man". Believing that his best friend, Jessica , is the only person in whom he can confide, Ian fears that revealing his true self to his family and friends will mean losing their love and acceptance forever.
