A dark, intellectually rigorous examination of two young men whose sexual and romantic bond becomes entangled with amorality and murder, told through a queer lens that interrogates desire, complicity, and historical judgment.

Teenagers Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb share a dangerous sexual bond and an amoral outlook on life. They spend afternoons breaking into storefronts and engaging in petty crimes, until the calculating Nathan ups the ante by kidnapping, and murdering, a young boy.
