From afar, he is truly a man who has the whole world at its knees and a bright future ahead of him. Still, he has one weakness--other boys.   Set in the 1940s, An Idol for Others follows Walter's internal turmoil as he tries to follow society's norms by marrying Clara, a wealthy, forceful heiress who is as enamored of Walter's status as she is of his body.
