When a young O Town Square, Kelly, falls in love at first sight with Queerville’s transmasc, Zack, at a street race, Kelly is compelled to conceal her true identity from them due to Zack's disdain for O Town. Their burgeoning romance will expose the evil lying beneath O Town's beautiful façade. Leading to an all-out war between the gangs in Queerville and O Town. Meanwhile, a serial killer is on the loose, which may unexpectedly bring the two towns together. In their ruthless pursuit of vengeance to find their brother’s killer, Zack is forced to choose between seeking retribution and the love of their life. Once the truth is revealed, Queerville is left in turmoil, leaving Zack with an inconceivable choice. One over which they have no control; it will cost them everything they love, and maybe even Kelly's life. Ultimately, Queerville will never be the same again.

Their bond will reveal the town's darkest secrets, endangering both their lives and the lives of everyone around them. Will it be worth it?

Written between 1943 and 1946, A Man Without Shoes – an epic novel of the immigrant experience in America – was finally self-published in 1951 after over 30 rejections. As Sanford explained 'in 1947, it was a new kind of cold altogether: McCarthyism, it was called, and hard weather was no longer on the way, -it was here. For A Man Without Shoes, the sixteen seasons of the next four years were all of them winter. During that period, the book was submitted to some thirty publishers, and thirty-some times it was declined.' The novel was considered too politically radical and leftist for the mainstream publishers at the dawn of the McCarthy era.

David & Jonathan are two innocent-looking young men who meet each other amidst the prowlers in the park late one night - at least that is what seems to be the case at the outset. Just behind their angelic fa§ades, however, are devils in disguise. This `second skin' is what we get to see - details from the boys' public and private lives. The hard, cold facts from the story of David & Jonathan contrast wonderfully to the first impression of na ̄vet© in these comics, drawn in a style reminiscent of the world-famous Tintin.
