New Boy is the story of Mark, a 17-year old adolescent
anxious to finally get his sex life jump-started. When the very attractive
"new boy" Barry begins classes at Mark's all boys school, the two become
fast friends. This new relationship allows Mark the opportunity to
experience his hormonal aspirations vicariously through Barry's exploits.
Barry meanwhile, has no problem seducing members of the opposite sex. Be
it the students of the neighbouring girls school, or members of the
faculty, Barry's sexual ventures run fast and furious. Through it all, the
two boys develop a very close bond that could ultimately change the course
of their lives.
