Art is an overweight, uncoordinated and feminine teenager who becomes obsessed with men who wear plaster casts for their broken bones. At first, it intrigued him because having a broken bone would have excused him from the torture chamber and bullying in grade school physical education. In high school, Art thinks that by having a girlfriend and eventually getting married, he would become normal and even prevent himself from being gay. But after he gets married, Art begins to realize that he might have a body image identity disorder. This revelation will have an impact on Art for the rest of his life.
