Girth Brooks has been raising his three sons alone ever since his wife passed away many years ago. He works hard to strike the right balance—being a steady, responsible father while also giving his boys room to grow into their own independence.

When his middle son, Lane, came out as gay, Girth accepted it with relative ease. But Lane’s increasing interest in pursuing a career in adult entertainment pushes Girth’s comfort zone much further. It’s especially complicated for a man who still keeps a hidden stash of vintage Penthouse magazines in his closet.

Though he’s made every effort to push away inappropriate thoughts about his sons as they’ve matured, the truth is undeniable: they’re becoming strikingly attractive young men. And deep down, Girth has always leaned far more toward being gay than straight.

On the day he helps Lane move into Carnal House, Girth quietly admits he’s struggling with the idea of his son leaving home. In an attempt to comfort his father, Lane offers something far more intimate—a blowjob. That single act unlocks a flood of long-suppressed feelings, desires, and possibilities, forever changing the dynamic between father and son and opening the door to an entirely new kind of relationship.
