(2) YA James longs to leave Tuscaloosa; his brother Alex also feels discontented. The catalyst is James's friend Nathen, who sees Alex's potential as a runner. Alex and Nathen become friends, then boyfriends, in a tender exploration of first love. Concepts surrounding the brothers' social suffocation develop at an unhurried pace as they move toward adulthood.
