When high school teacher Tom Mason and his lover, professional
baseball player Scott Carpenter, return home after a night out to discover
a corpse in their apartment, they are trapped in the middle of a deadly
game of hide-and-seek. The body is that of Glen Proctor, a former teammate
and friend of Scott's, who had arrived on their doorstep in the throws
of some unnamed "big trouble." With Glen dead and his unknown
killers now after Tom and Scott, they are the ones in serious trouble.
Since the police are slow to respond to the danger they are in (in fact,
Tom and Scott are under suspicion themselves), they are forced to investigate
on their own. As they delve deeper into Glen's past (and a dark and troublesome
past it is), the situation becomes stickier, and the solution to the murder
becomes essential -- not just in the name of justice but for their own
survival.
