The story

Steven Carter is an intelligent and introverted 16-year-old middle-class schoolboy in Basingstoke, England, who is secretly gay. Bullied at school and misunderstood by his parents, his only confidante is his best friend and next-door neighbour, Linda. One day, Steven, who occasionally cruises the public toilet in a local park, is surprised to find John Dixon, the school's star athlete, also cruising.
