The socially turbulent summer of 1964 triggers a cyclone of
upheaval. For both the nation and Davey Dodd, a sheltered
17-year-old from Kentucky. At the onset, he remains blissfully
unaware of the radical changes about to come. He takes a job across
the river at a large Cincinnati hotel, which at first intensifies
his feelings of unworthiness and self-doubt. His rigid Catholic
upbringing has fostered a sort of emotional paralysis. The coarse
masculinity of most of his peers intimidates him, yet at the same
time he wishes he could be more like those freewheeling guys who
boast of sexual escapades and other easy sins. As the weeks unfold,
however, the diverse people and situations he encounters open his
eyes to a colorful new world: one that emboldens him to explore
this disconcerting passion he feels for co-worker, Tony DeStefano.
Set against the backdrop of the Freedom Summer's burgeoning civil
rights movement, Davey embarks on a journey toward his own
acceptance and personal integrity.
