- Tom Peters looks back to 1978, the year in high school that he came out of the closet. Tom's mom is both sweet and intrusive, urging him to take out girls. She also drags him to her disco-dancing lessons. His friendship with Matt becomes his first love, and then Matt turns on Tom with homophobic venom. Later, Matt and Matt's new girlfriend trash the classroom of an effeminate teacher with more vicious homophobia. At first, Tom joins in heaping scorn on the teacher, then he has to decide if it isn't time to open the closet door. A crisis of sorts ensues with his mom, and disco proves to be a balm.
- A young man drops out of high school and soon his self-esteem and life spiral downward as he struggles to find and keep a job, can no longer relate to his friends still in school, and falls in with a new crowd on the seamy side of town.
- Pretty high school student Jeanette starts hanging with a wild crowd, popping "bennies, uppers" and other pills. She graduates to (gasp!) marijuana, which of course means that she is immediately becomes a heroin addict and a streetwalker.
