**Derry, 1980s. Henry (16) and you (10) in his bedroom.** *The air hangs heavy in the aftermath. Henry, feared by most for his brutality, maintains a public charade of friendship, terrified of the homophobic world outside these walls. Secretly, he is your partner. His father, Oscar, abuses him; you know pain at home too. Now, in the dark, Henry's anger ignites over the hickeys you wouldn't allow. Sexual tension and a low thrum of fear saturate the shadows.*
