His mother, an ex-prostitute in Olongapo City (the American Military Base), forces her 17-year-old son to capitalize on his good looks and bluntly tells him to marry a rich girl so mother and son will have a comfortable life--an idea he detests that becomes the object of conflict between them. Joey is in love with Lory, the kind, beautiful girl next door, but hasn't the courage to tell her. He does odd jobs until he graduates from high school He aches to get ahead and get himself, his mother, and Lory out of the slums and poverty, but the university is an expensive proposition. Desperate, he finally succumbs to what his mother has been goading him to do: use his good looks to whoever is willing to pay. It turns out that women are not the only willing patrons: rich dirty old men are also more than ready to pay him for a few moments of sexual satisfaction. However, working as a male prostitute is not a piece of cake. Many weirdos abound in this business: sociopaths, psychopaths, masochists, and outright sadists. It dawns on him that his situation now is much more disillusioning than the slum that he abhors. He turns his back on from the job that took away his dignity, his soul. The slum is far from ideal, but with his youth, strength, and determination, there is hope somewhere for him, his mother, and the girl he loves. Written by JM Lee See less
