In
truth, Matt is unhappy. Convinced he’s not worthy of love, he flits from club
to bar, in search of temporary amnesia from the demon on his shoulder that
tells him he’s never going to find “the one”. Which is ironic, because his
heart already belongs to the one man he knows he can never have—his straight
best friend, Zeke.
Zeke
has always dated women. He can’t fathom why he’s so upset about Matt’s latest
lover, the wildly successful and attractive Dieter, but refuses to accept that
he’s jealous, because to do that, he might have to do some soul-searching of
his own.
Meeting
Dieter turns Matt’s ordered life on its head, and opens Matt’s mind to the
possibility that he can make a
meaningful connection. However, to take a gamble on love, Matt has to learn to
trust people with his secrets. And, more importantly, to overcome his shame
regarding the one part of him he refuses to change. If he can’t – or won’t –
learn to love himself, it’s doubtful anyone else will see the real man behind
the mask.
The
only question is whether he’s brave enough.
