The Whole Person

Zeke Walker is obese, attending a Catholic high school of all boys who bully him, and living with  is crazy Mom who expects Zeke to live with her until she dies.

But Zeke is very bright, inventive, and could be gay. He buys physique magazines from a magazine rack in Hollywood that Red Scramagno manages. Red is a huge jock, straight, and a man whore. He services Zeke and now can’t stop thinking about him.

Very soon, the obese boy falls in love with Red, is determined to lose his weight, and start a real life for himself. But will his Mom let him? Will Red stick with him and be entranced by the whole person, Zeke? He says he needs a big man with a big . . . .

Zeke has made up his mind: he's going to risk it all. What does he have to lose? So, he starts by having Red to dinner to meet his mom. A dinner with a possibly forgone conclusion where all hell is set to break loose.

Zeke and Red want to attend Loyola University, TOGETHER. Yet can Red really love Zeke, even though he claims to be straight? Will Red and Zeke create a fun life closeted to some, but out to others?

Then there's Red’s roommate, Larry, who seems to be a bit "light in the loafers" himself. Will he be able to help them, or will he be too preoccupied with his recently paroled brother? 

The obese boy, Zeke, and his mate, straight jock Red, are ensconced together at Loyola University. Zeke is busy dieting and weightlifting, turning fat into muscle, while Red is freaking out over maybe being gay, now attracted to his mate’s new body and to other men.

Both are worried about how their families will tolerate the news of their relationship. Both Dads expect their sons to be uber-straight. Will they reject both boys? Or, will they just blame the “other boy” for recruiting their son?

Meanwhile, the straight dude, Joe Sinclair, across the hall from the guys, runs into his history professor at a cruisey public toilet downtown. Joe and Dr. Jarnell Griffin hit it off, but the professor demurs, “I can’t lose my job over you, Joe.” Joe pursues the good professor with the same energy he used to pursue girls. Will Jarnell relent?

And how will Zeke and Red convince their dads to accept them as a couple? Hint: their solution involves a girl named Eleanor.
