He escapes the bleakness of his home life by causing trouble with his delinquent friends and flirting with older men online. When his chatting and web-camming intensify, he finally starts hooking up with guys at a nearby cruising beach while simultaneously entering into a cautious relationship with a young woman. As Frankie struggles to reconcile his competing desires, his decisions leave him hurtling toward irreparable consequences.
