Heartthrob

Hollywood, the mid-1960s. President Kennedy has been assassinated, the country's civil rights movement is in full swing, and teenager Nate Berrigan is a television sitcom star.

But Nate's onscreen life looks nothing like the real thing, which stars abusive, addicted parents instead of swooning teenage girls. On top of that, Nate's questioning his sexuality, and his boss is a demanding monster.

The pressure would get to anyone. Fortunately Nate has Tai Atua, his costar and maybe the love of his life. As the boys slowly fall for each other, Nate tries to believe in the possibility of his own happiness. Tai could be his savior, pulling Nate away from the precarious knife-edge he's balancing on.

Of course, he could also be his undoing. Because if anyone finds out about their relationship, Nate's whole life will come crashing down around him. If that happened, Nate couldn't live with himself.
