Boys' Life concerns itself with the cynical lives of three twenty-somethings. At that age, "lives" and "sex lives" are virtually synonymous. Most of their waking hours are spent either on the prowl or rationalizing and justifying their quest, its successes and failings. Boys' Life plays out in a series of scenes in which Jack, Don and Phil follow different trajectories through the minefield of post-adolescent development. Jack, the least grown up, is married with a child, but has eyes that still wander; Don, apparently the most mature, finds someone to love even though he must prove it to himself by comparison; and Phil is, well, still looking.
