What do you do when your best friends girlfriend makes a pass at you? Erick Rudd isnt sure how it happened –– he did nothing but look. It was Nicki who made the first move. And if that doesnt complicate things enough, Erick is about to get some news that will blow his safe world apart: Pete, his older brother and idol, has fullblown AIDS. Im a night kite, Pete once told Erick. I go up in the dark, alone, on my own, and Im not afraid to be different. Nicki is a night kite, too. Together, she and Pete will teach Erick that sometimes its best to keep your feet on the ground.
