   Summary

   It's 1985, and a mysterious disease is taking the lives of thousands of young queer men across North America. It seems like nobody has an explanation - or, at least, nobody wants to mention the explanation they're finding.

   It's 1985, and Ilya Rozanov has suddenly dropped out of the playoffs due to an "undisclosed injury". Shane Hollander goes to find the real reason and becomes intimately familiar with the unexplainable.
