The story follows the adolescent friendship of Joshua Haigh and Clarence Clarbourne, growing up in a small town in Oregon. This friendship is marked by an asymmetrical devotion, bordering on a sado-masochistic bond: Joshua lives in the shadow of Clarence and adores him, while Clarence is sustained by a dominance that, at times, descends into disdain. The two find wives and go their separate ways, until Clarence contacts his old friend, offering him a job as a journalist. Here the relationship continues as before, only now, fuelled by inner tumult and alcoholism, Clarences’s controlling nature takes a psychotic turn. After one incident, Joshua commits the unthinkable: in self-defence he kills his best friend.
