Synopsis:
A gay couple is brutally attacked and beaten after leaving Dinah's flower shop. One of the men is killed, and the police find a flower from the shop on the victim. The police question Dinah and Ollie to determine if they saw anything that can help the investigation. The detective in charge believes that teenage street gangs are responsible.

Ollie decides to conduct his own investigation and goes undercover. He poses as a gay man and frequents the rougher areas of the city. He is soon attacked by gang members. Ollie fights them off. He recognizes one of the kids, Colin, a boy who was working in Dinah's shop and was recently forced to join the gang known as the Warhogs.
