It is 2012. Wealthy seventeen year old teenage boy James Buckingham is returning by ship to America after vacationing in Europe with his father and mother. They have also brought along pretty, wealthy girl Jessica Simpson. James is the son of a huge businessman and stock market player, Joseph “Joe” Buckingham, who is of European aristocratic descent and American socialite lineage, and Katherine “Kate” de Grey, who herself is the daughter of an aristocratic mother and wealthy father. Jessica Simpson is the daughter of a potential business partner of Joseph’s. Joseph and Katherine want their son to marry Jessica because they are secretly suffering from financial difficulties.
James is very depressed. Not only are his parents putting huge pressure on him, he also has a deep secret he is hiding from the world around him, from the paparazzi and media and high society: he is actually gay. James couldn’t bear the narrow-mindedness of his world, and on the second night of the journey back to New York, he couldn’t hold it in any longer. He attempts to commit suicide by jumping off the stern of the ship.
“Don’t do it,” a voice says. James turns and sees a beautiful, yet working-class-dressed boy about his age. James threatens to jump, despite being slightly disoriented from the creature. He feels something brewing inside of him…eventually the working class boy introduces himself as Kevin O’Connor, aged 18. “Wow, Iike your style,” he says, pointing at James’ outfit of a matching Marc Jacobs couture wool coat, a dark blue and white colour block shirt and tan corduroy trousers with smart brown Bontoni dress shoes. James says “thanks, you too” admiring Kevin’s hoodie and jeans with Nike sneakers.
The two soon develop a strong bond. James decides to meet up with Kevin from third class and they talk, and eventually James brings Kevin to dinner with him, much to the dismay of his mother, father and Jessica. Jessica already has a part of her that suspects James of being not so straight.
After the dinner, Kevin brings James to a third class party with his friends, and they party hard all night until two in the morning when the two boys split up. They discover a mutual interest in Kpop, a small yet rising music genre and sing Sooweul Neul Malhebwa together.
The next day, however, James’ mum warns James not to talk to Kevin. James is then confronted by Jessica, who tells him that she loves him a lot, and hugs him. James decides to avoid Kevin, but eventually gives up when he sees a little boy being scolded by his mother for acting in a feminine manner. He approaches Kevin who is chilling at the bow of the ship, and Kevin takes James up and holds him on the railing. “Soowuneul malhebwa, Jamie?” he says playfully (Tell me your wish is korean) James gives a light giggle and says, “My Soowun?? My soowun is..” he looks deep into Kevin’s eyes, and they kiss for the first time.
Later, the two boys go into James’ room. Kevin is intruged at the luxury of James’ room, and over James’ luxurious, fashionable high fashion clothes. James playfully asks Kevin to do him a photoshoot – a nude photoshoot.
They then almost get discovered by James’ father’s valet, and playfully run away from him. The two enter a Lamborghini in the storage area and passionately make love. They almost get discovered and leave and they kiss. However, at that moment the ship is punctured by a rock and starts to sink. James is split from Kevin, and Jessica tries to force James into a lifeboat. James refuses and goes to Kevin. His parents leave without him and scream after him. Jessica follows the two lovers and tries to force James into another lifeboat with her.However, James jumps back out to reunite with Kevin, and the two eventually go into the water with the ship. Kevin tells James that he must live on and never let go, and James promises. Kevin is frozen to death.
Eventually James changes his identity to Jamie O’Connor and lives a free life battling for homosexual rights. In the 2020’s he comes a Kpop idol after Kpop’s global domination, and he also does a variety of other things such as flying in a rocket. Homosexuals are finally accepted. He dies at the age of 117 in 2112.
