The View From Olympus Mons
Nate and Craig are inseparable high school friends in spite of their social differences—Nate from a wealthy family, Craig struggling to support his drug-addicted mother. The boys seal their friendship by burying a time capsule, a collection of childhood possessions representing their lives, swearing to unearth it thirty years hence. They look forward to the future with optimism, but when Nate declares his deep feelings for Craig, he's rejected and circumstances part the two. Thirty years later, Craig is informed of Nate's hospitalization in critical condition, the victim of a hate crime. In the twenty-four hours Craig spends at his boyhood friend's bedside, events which have shaped their lives over three decades unfold—Craig's journey from poverty to respect as a computer scientist, through twenty years of unhappy marriage, to the late discovery of his true sexuality, while Nate is disowned by his family and forced to support himself by prostitution. Though contact between them has been nil for thirty years, neither has been able to break the bond formed in their childhood—Craig unable to forgive himself for re-jecting his friend; Nate's life and relationships ham-pered by his unending, unresolved love for Craig. Ultimately, Craig will drive a frenzied 900 miles to find release from the guilt that has shadowed his life—back to the tree house where it all began.
