Jumping Jack Flash

Jack never knew his father, and his carnie mother died when he was in his teens. The carnie is the only family Jack's ever known. He perfects a knife and sword act where he keeps himself safe by making the steel blades go exactly where he wants them. Getting his GED and working to educate himself while keeping up his carnival act leaves Jack no time for a social life, but he's been too busy to miss what he never had.


Doug's a pretty ordinary guy with a college education and a boring IT job. When his loser druggie boyfriend moves out, Doug's lonely and hurt. Looking for distraction, he goes to a carnival. When he sees the mercurial red head, he's enthralled. Jack Flash is the opposite of everything Doug's ever known. Can two men with such widely different lives find common ground on which to build a bond?
