HOT OFF THE PRESSES
Elliot Mackle

Atlanta, 1996 and the Olympic Games are about to descent on the City. Henry Thompson is the editor of a gay newspaper, fighting a corrupt mayor and trying to raise awareness of the dangers of casual sex. While taking in a voyeuristic sweat at a men’s club steam room, Henry finds himself in a tryst with a handsome, local athlete. What happens to a crusading journalist when he finds himself falling for a closeted gymnast favoured to win gold medals at the upcoming Olympics? When CNN and Sports Illustrated hound him in their never-ending demand for sensationalism that threatens careers?
