The most important things in Simon Murray's life are football, friends, and film--in that order. His friends despair of him ever meeting someone, but despite his loneliness, Simon is cautious about looking for more. Then his best friends drag him to a party, where he barges into a football conversation and ends up defending the honour of star forward Declan Tyler--unaware that the athlete is present. In that first awkward meeting, neither man has any idea they will change each other's lives forever. Like his entire family, Simon revels in living in Melbourne, the home of Australian Rules football and mecca for serious fans. There, players are treated like gods--until they do something to fall out of public favour. This year, the public is taking Declan to task for suffering injuries outside his control, so Simon's support is a bright spot. But as Simon and Declan fumble toward a relationship, keeping Declan's homosexuality a secret from well-meaning friends and an increasingly suspicious media becomes difficult. Nothing can stay hidden forever. Soon Declan will have to choose between the career he loves and the man he wants, and Simon has never been known to make things easy--for himself or for others.

The tiger licked his lips. Then he circled the tail around. Then I knew that the tiger has found a kill. The tiger started to move in the direction it came from at the same angle as before from my tree. I did not know where it was going. But slowly slowly it started to turn towards me. I did not know what the tiger thought but it had the killer instinct. Then I realized that it was coming for me. The tiger stopped at about 50 yards and roared and ran towards me with full speed. There was a chance that I could go up a bit high on the tree, but still I would have been in tiger's range. For some reason, neither I was scared of the tiger nor did I think about it. So I stayed put. You have to be on the edge to face such a dangerous situation not thinking of life or death. If you get scared then you die. But if you are not scared, then you have an equal chance of survival and success in your endeavour. The tiger knew what he thought. I had to fight it out on my behalf. I also had to have a killer instinct to play such a dangerous game. I forgot about the gun and instead I chose to stay there and wrapped my left arm around a small branch so that I could protect myself from falling. The tiger came running towards me and I cocked the gun and aimed for the head of the tiger and kept moving the gun as the tiger moved towards me and kept it aligned with tiger's head. When the tiger was about ten feet from my tree and it was the last step before the tiger jumped to pick me up; I pressed both triggers. As I said, muzzle loader gun was loaded long time ago and one fired the other did not! The tiger did not jump high enough to pick me up; instead it jumped and put its steps hard on the ground just below me by the trunk of the tree. It happened in a split second. I did not know whether I hit the tiger or not. It was very difficult to think of anything at that time. The tiger pushed its paws deep into the ground and immediately turned east and ran away with the same speed. There was a small patch of dense grass about 25 yards from my tree which I was guarding for the deer to come out of. The tiger jumped and entered the grass. I did not see the grass moving any further. I did not know where the tiger went. It was a scary situation for me.
