A Philip Potter Story Terrence Bottom wants to change the world. Little does he know the world is already changing, and his part in it won't be what he expects. A prelaw student at Columbia University, Terrence's interests range from opposing the draft and the war in Vietnam, to civil rights for gays, to anything to do with Cameron McKenzie, the rugged blond hanging around the Stonewall Inn. Too bad Cameron bolts whenever Terrence looks his way. College dropout Cameron McKenzie left tiny Paris, Kentucky, with dreams of a career on Broadway. Although he claims to be straight, he prostitutes himself to survive. Now the Mafia is using him to entrap men for extortion schemes. He's in over his head with no way out-at least not a way that doesn't involve cement shoes and a swim in the Hudson. Terrence finally confronts Cameron, and they return to the Stonewall Inn during another police raid. But this time the patrons aren't going quietly. While Terrence sees his chance to stand beside his friends and stand up for his beliefs, Cameron sees the distraction of the riots as an opportunity to escape-even if it means walking away from the only man he's ever loved.
