Once Jason goes to college he instantly finds himself quickly falling for one of those first semester flings in a jock named Toby, who continually professed to be straight but with whom he could discreetly continue satisfying his carnal desires. However, Toby soon gains an uncontrollable stronghold on Jason’s heart although Toby still refuses to label himself as gay, maintains that he’s straight and that Jason is just someone with whom he can discreetly have sex with for now and that it surely wouldn’t continue long term.
