A college-age gay man discovers how to love himself and accept love from others, despite the disapproval of his father and tacit disapproval of his mother, who does nothing to counter his father's overt homophobia. In reaction to being raised by hateful parents, he regularly engages in self-harming activities. After one particularly harmful stunt, he ends up in the hospital emergency room, where he meets a sweet male nurse.
