The narrative follows the protagonist, Lee, as he navigates his journey of self-discovery while grappling with his desires and the societal norms of mid-20th century America. The book presents a raw and unfiltered look at the LGBTQ+ experience during a time when such identities were often marginalized and misunderstood.
