The Green Light

Cameron Marks was the San Diego Aviators' Rookie of the Year. After achieving his childhood dreams, he finds out that all the accolades still don't make him not gay. Now, in the middle of a sophomore-season disaster, he can't keep pretending the slump is about baseball.

Tony Chivetti is a jaded bartender at one of San Diego's busiest gay bars, three years sober and done with closeted men. They meet on a quiet street in Hillcrest, after all the bars have closed. Cameron shouldn't be there. Tony should know better. They both walk away — but neither of them can leave it alone.
