In Cruising, Lane meets James, someone different like him. Together, they stumble into one of the most horrific crimes in the annals of American history.

Summer in the blue-collar neighborhood of the Heights is a time of partying, muscle cars, and rock music. Working as a gas jockey, Lane spends his time off with his roommate, Kyle, cruising the strip, hanging out in dives, and going on double dates at the drive-in. Lane knows he is different than other guys—gay in a time when it is not cool.

The Heights has a secret too, hinted at by the telltale signs of missing posters, an abandoned car, runaways, and an eerie, dark red ’68 Plymouth GTX that prowls the streets.

A chance encounter with James grows into something more for Lane. Dreams become vivid with omens of impending chaos as he crosses boundaries and sees a way to escape his dead-end life on the back of James’s BSA Lightning motorcycle. Ignoring the warning signs, he is unaware that a serial killer and his teenage accomplices are stalking them and intend for them to be the next victims.
