Rust on the Razor

Following weeks of tabloid rumors, Chicago baseball player Scott Carpenter publicly discloses that he's gay. Instantly the subject of sermons, Scott is besieged by the media, dropped from his endorsements, and sidelined by an injury; life couldn't get worse for him and his lover, high school teacher Tom Mason. Until, of course, it does. In the midst of the uproar, Scott's father has a heart attack, and Tom and Scott rush to rural Georgia to be by his side. There they must deal not only with Scott's father's illness but with a plague of bigorty and homophobia from the local officials, the town's people and Scott's own siblings as well. Worse still, the town's sheriff is found murdered in the backseat of their car, and local officials would like nothing better than to pin the murder on Tom. Now Tom must uncover the hostile town's secrets and find the real murderer if he ever hopes to leave this small Georgia town alive.
