Dodge takes Oliver under his wing and instructs him in the unforgiving arts of drug abuse and prostitution. Oliver develops a crush on Dodge and views him as his boyfriend, complicating their friendship.

Twist Ending
A plot twist is a literary technique that introduces a radical change in the direction or expected outcome of the plot in a work of fiction. When it happens near the end of a story, it is known as a twist ending or surprise ending. It may change the audience's perception of the preceding events, or introduce a new conflict that places it in a different context. A plot twist may be foreshadowed, to prepare the audience to accept it, but it usually comes with some element of surprise. There are various methods used to execute a plot twist, such as withholding information from the audience, or misleading them with ambiguous or false information. Not every plot has a twist, but some have multiple lesser ones, and some are defined by a single major twist. Since the effectiveness of a plot twist usually relies on the audience's not having expected it, revealing a plot twist to readers or viewers in advance is commonly regarded as a ''spoiler''. Even revealing the fact that a work cont ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Flood (They Might Be Giants Album)
''Flood'' is the third studio album by Brooklyn-based alternative rock duo They Might Be Giants, released in January 1990. ''Flood'' was the duo's first album on the major label Elektra Records. It generated three singles: " Birdhouse in Your Soul", "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)", and the domestic promotional track "Twisting".
