The Old Boy is a powerful and moving story about a man who must face his past while attempting to change his future. A distinguished alumnus returns to his elite Prep School to dedicate a building to his best friend, now dead.

As he flashes back on his past relationships, homophobia and its consequences force him to confront the repressed, WASPy ruling class that has rewarded him, but also required him to remain an old boy well into middle age.
