Gray by Tom Smith
2 Males, 1 Female
Synopsis:
Laura is a ‘cool finder,’ a person
hired by corporations to observe street culture and predict fashion
trends. During one of her visits to a local skate park, she encounters
Pack, 16, who seems to be a homeless street kid. Pack agrees to help
Laura gather information in exchange for money and beer. Soon, the two
develop a sort of friendship, and Laura finds herself intrigued with
Pack's life story. Matt, who has been in a relationship with Laura for
years, is nervous for Laura's safety and interrupts a meeting between
her and Pack. A few days later, Pack shows up at Matt's school, wanting
to know more about him and his relationship with Laura. Matt soon
becomes fascinated with Pack: with his youth, his strength, his bravado,
and his freedom from adult responsibility. He befriends Pack under the
pretext of wanting to help him find a more stable life, but soon finds
himself attracted to Pack. Matt struggles to understand whether this
attraction is sexual, or merely jealousy of Pack's youth. Soon, Pack
plays a series of games with both Laura and Matt, pitting them against
each other and raising doubts about their relationship. Ultimately, Pack
runs off, leaving Matt and Laura alone, each trying to figure out how
their relationship could be so tenuous, and how to put the events into
any sort of context.
