In Dumb Jock, Jeff and Brett fall in love, but their relationship is not without challenges. Bretts a football star, and Jeff is the classic nerd. Their coming of age and coming out story is set in the 1980s, and they face many obstacles. Yet their love for each other is strong, and they finally get their happy ending. Now, almost three decades later, their children are teenagers. Adam, their fifteen year old son, is the star pitcher of his high school baseball team. He has grown up with two dads, in a loving, non-judgmental environment. Yet Adam has challenges of his own. Hes failing two of his classes at school, and hes been suspended for fighting. He resents being labeled and insists that just because he has two dads, it doesnt mean that he is himself gay. When he is forced to accept help from another student in his algebra class, Adam starts to have feelings that cause him to question his very identity. Hes got to decide whether to follow his heart or to maintain the image hes worked so hard to portray. Will he have the courage to take a stand for what he knows is right, or will he end up being just another dumb jock?
