Dante kan svømme. Det kan Ari ikke. Dante er veltalende og selvsikker. Ari har det svært med ord og tvivler på sig selv. Dante drømmer sig væk i poesi og kunst. Ari forsvinder i mørke tanker om den bror, der sidder i fængsel. Dante er lys i huden. Ari er meget mørkere. Man skulle tro, at en dreng som Dante ville være den sidste, der kunne bryde de mure ned, som Ari har bygget om sig selv. Men da Ari og Dante mødes, sker der noget.

Benjamin Alire Sáenz's stories reveal how all borders—real, imagined, sexual, human, the line between dark and light, addict and straight—entangle those who live on either side. Take, for instance, the Kentucky Club on Avenida Juárez two blocks south of the Rio Grande. It's a touchstone for each of Sáenz's stories. His characters walk by, they might go in for a drink or to score, or they might just stay there for a while and let their story be told. Sáenz knows that the Kentucky Club, like special watering holes in all cities, is the contrary to borders.
