Here's a synopsis from wipipedia, I've left the end off because if you ever do see the film that would spoil things...

Nathan is an intelligent, but shy, adolescent boy. He would like to escape from his abusive and violent family and fantasizes about a relationship with Roy, the boy next door.

Nathan moves to a new town and is soon attracted to his neighbor Roy. Roy, a senior at the same high school as Nathan, drives the school bus that takes Nathan to school. Nathan admires Roy's body on the bus and gradually the two boys start talking. Their relationship develops and becomes sexual, as the boys express their love for each other, firstly in a graveyard, then on Roy's bus, then in a tent, at some point in Nathan's room, and finally in an abandoned house, where they are discovered by Roy's friends Randy and Burke.

Nathan's father is drunk one evening and tries to molest Nathan. This is clearly not the first time it has happened and helps explain Nathan's desire to escape from his family. His mother avoids the issue, though she knows what is going on. Nathan has to hide both this sexual abuse and his secret love for Roy from everyone. Nathan also dreams about purchasing horses.

Nathan is accepted into the social circle of Roy's school year and has the opportunity to go on a camping trip with Roy and his friends Randy and Burke. During the trip, they discover an abandoned and possibly haunted plantation house and Nathan and Roy are discovered having oral sex.

I haven't seen the movie, but I read the book. Interesting..

I want to read the book now.
