Traveling To Olympia

Johnny is a troubled young man in Washington state who has been doubly victimized by state law and the "correctional" institution that he is sent to at age 16. Skipping school, because he was bullied for being gay, he is sent to juvenile prison for three years where he is brutally raped by a gang of boys. Leaving reform school, he travels to Olympia, the state capitol, and gets a job washing dishes at a downtown cafe. A young lawyer/activist Joel is investigating gay bashing and hate crimes in the state capitol where he meets the young Johnny and they fall in love. Johnny's past makes it difficult for him to enter into an intimate relationship, but Joel's understanding and caring soon win him over. For brunch Joel invites his rich young popcorn heir friend and a closeted state Senator, who hit it off immediately, and they make quite a couple.
