โฆ Synopsis
Closeted mechanic Joey Nichols' life is good. His boyfriend landed a
major Hollywood role, and is well on the way to superstardom. Joey's bags
are packed and soon he'll leave small town Georgia and join the man of his
dreams in California, to live out, proud, and together. Days before his
planned departure, his lover outs Joey during a televised interview and
announces that they've broken up, leaving Joey to face the bigotry of the
locals alone.
Bestselling author Troy Steele knows all about having life turned
upside down by the media. Now a recluse, Troy shuns all the trappings that
come with writing books made into blockbuster movies. He spends his time
exacting revenge on a former flame via his novels and hiding out in rural
South Carolina, watching celebrity gossip shows. Joey's fifteen minutes of
fame bear an eerie similarity to the plot of Troy's latest work in progress. What if
Joey could be transformed into everything the fickle ex wanted, as Troy is
writing for his fictional hero, and secretly wishes for himself? Once
polished, could a diamond-in-the-rough good ole boy confront his ex, then
walk away, pride intact? These are Troy's questions, and he's counting on
Joey for answers.
