Bobby Greenwell is a bag boy in a natural-foods grocery. He tends to be a bit timid, but Cameron Lowell, his burly construction-worker boyfriend, has been teaching him how to be more assertive.

Cam is laid up with both legs in casts due to a workplace accident, and Bobby is his sole caregiver.

When a homophobic skinhead breaks into their house and threatens Cam's life, all hell breaks loose. Bobby defies everything he's ever known about himself to confront the thug and hang on to what has become most dear in his life.
