| Plot Summary of Octagon - The Early Years |
|---|
"A young boy becomes aware of his attraction to younger boys at a very early age, and then at the age of eight he has sexual contact with his older brothers and immediately understand how different he is from others. Surrounded by a dysfunctional family, he establishes a double life, one for him and one for them. In the life he creates for them he becomes devoted to hiding his desires and love. But in his life it's about finding sexual encounters and hopefully love. In high school he experiences a minor brush with love but as the story ends, as he is entering the military, he has decided that love is not an option for him and that sex is the ultimate pleasure. "
