Every Sunday, five friends—queer men of MENASA descent—gather in Zev's living room to drink tequila, spin records, and share their romantic triumphs (and failures). When one of them, the magnetic and secretive Moose, vanishes without a trace, the ritual that held them together becomes the thing that tears them apart. As months turn to years, each man is forced to reckon with what he's willing to sacrifice—his safety, his health, his sanity—to find the truth. But when the truth behind Moose's disappearance finally emerges, it is far darker than any of them imagined. Inspired by startling true events, Fountains of Youth is a time-shifting thriller about chosen family, the secrets we keep from those we love, and the cost of unearthing what's buried.
