Shakespeare's Sonnets

The time is 1948. Adam Standridge is a student at Harvard with dreams of becoming a literary scholar. He's from a rich and influential family, and has become engaged to the perfect girl. His life plan is set until he's busted by the campus police for having sex with a man in a public place.
Threatened with expulsion, Adam refocuses his energies on a new class about Shakespeare's sonnets. There he meets Jean Hayman, a man with whom Adam shares much: love of language and love of men. As their relationship grows, Adam realizes he will have to make a choice: the life his family planned for him, or the life his heart wants.
