Lacy's brother, Jack, comes home in the latter stages of AIDS. Lacy's life is subsequently turned upside down. Her parents do not want her to tell others about Jack's illness as her father has had difficulty accepting Jack's homosexuality. Jack's grief over the loss of his partner is realistically portrayed. Lacy presents a class health report on AIDS, with the support of her swim coach, who has also had a brother die of AIDS. Most of Lacy's friends rally around her and support her. Lacy fights to be part of Jack's last days as that's all she'll have of him.
