Jamey: the golden son of a wealthy and powerful East Coast family.
They make an unlikely couple.
At first theirs is a classic tale of sexual obsession, of wanting something you shouldn't have. A brutal coming of age. But as they get to know each other what started as a challenge gradually transforms, and their obsession slowly turns into something more like love.
