What happens when two beautiful teenage boys meet under the hot summer sun? Nothing good. In NOTHING BUT TRASH, the year is 1958 and Tab (McGarrigal) and Troy (Kaplan) are on the fast track to madness when their innocent love is destroyed by lies. Wrongly accused of a heinous crime, the boys must escape the horror of juvenile hall, or risk losing their sanity. And their lives!
