Denied on AllMovie

A small town super-jock comes to terms with his suppressed sexuality in this tale of masculine love that lends credence to the old adage "never judge a book by its cover." In high school, Troy had it all. But high school is over now, and when Troy's unsuspecting girlfriend goes out of town, the manly jock spends his hours pining over his best friend Merrick. When a series of midnight massages with Merrick quickly evolve into heated sex sessions, Troy's sexual confusion forces him to choose between a life of denial and frustration, or a life in which he can express his true sexual identity.
