Daniel Garneau, a gay hockey player from small-town Ontario, moves to Toronto for university and encounters a string of comic and painful misadventures. As he navigates dating, friendships and the demands of an eccentric family, the story balances humour with quieter moments of reflection.

The novel examines sex, intimacy and queer desire through candid scenes and thoughtful meditation. Its tone shifts between dramedy and philosophical reflection, giving weight to both awkward encounters and deeper emotional reckonings.

Readers seeking a character-driven coming-of-age story set in contemporary Canada will find layered portraits of family, belonging and the search for connection.
