"Just as my gaze settled on him, never to leave, he was in profile, turned away, in nothing but his combat boots, busy spreading the proof of his pleasure over the angelic face of a very nice young man who'd worked furiously to procure it."

At the heart of this book lies a mystery: that of a boy from a gay porn movie, watched over and over again, visually devoured. A boy who seems to show everything–body, skin, ass–even as he hides what is most important: his story, his life, his soul. All we know about the narrator of this novel is that he loves boys and porn. But through this obsessive voyeur, withdrawn from the world and locked up inside himself--through his penetrating, generous gaze–we slowly unravel the mystery of the boy in the movie.
