In the summer of 1980, The Police were on tour, their fame at an all-time high. Drummer Stewart Copeland, known for his distinctive style and energetic stage presence, found himself in a small coastal town in Maine. As he walked along the beach, the sun setting behind him, he felt an unfamiliar stirring within.

He stopped to watch a group of young men playing volleyball, their bodies glistening with sweat and sand.

Although he was in a relationship with his then-girlfriend Amanda, Copeland found himself drawn to the group of men on the beach. He couldn't shake the feeling that he was missing something important, some part of himself that he couldn't quite place.

As he watched them play, he felt a strange pull towards them, a sense of longing that he had never experienced before.

Finally, he mustered up the courage to approach them. "Hey guys, mind if I join in?" he asked, his voice shaking slightly with nerves. To his surprise, they welcomed him with open arms, laughing and joking as they added another player to their game.

"The name's Stewart", he said as he took off his shirt before playing. "Nice to meet you, my name is Daniel, this is Fred, this is Travis, and this is Jesse."

As the game progressed, Copeland found himself drawn more and more towards them.

"You're good at this, Stewart," Daniel said, slapping him on the back after he made an impressive save.

Stewart displayed a gay panic face as soon as Daniel slapped him on the back, but he quickly recovered himself. He laughed it off, feeling a rush of excitement at the attention.

As the game continued, he found himself drawn more and more towards these young men.

Their camaraderie was infectious, and he couldn't help but feel like he belonged with them.

"My God, why are these guys so hot?" Stewart thought to himself, his heart racing as he watched them play. He felt a rush of adrenaline, and for a moment, he forgot about everything else. He forgot about his girlfriend, his fame, and even the fact that he was a drummer in one of the biggest bands in the world. All he could think about was these young men and the way they moved together on the beach.

The group spent the rest of the sunset dancing around a bonfire, drinking beer, and sharing stories. Stewart was captivated by their energy and the way they laughed together as if they'd known each other for years.

He found himself drawn to Daniel, who seemed to have a magnetic pull that he couldn't resist. As the night wore on, Stewart found himself getting closer and closer to Daniel, their bodies brushing against each other in the crowded group.

He couldn't shake the feeling that this was more than just a casual flirtation.

As the summer progressed, Stewart found himself falling deeper and deeper in love with Daniel. Their encounters became more frequent, and their attraction grew stronger each time they met. They would find excuses to be alone together, sneaking off to secluded spots on the beach or hiding in empty rooms at the hotel where The Police were staying.

This action raised a lot of questions for his fellow bandmates Sting, and Andy as well as his girlfriend Amanda. They noticed a change in his behaviour and energy levels during their performances. Despite his attempts to hide it, they sensed something was going on.

Stewart couldn't shake the feelings he had for Daniel, and he found himself struggling with his sexuality. He started to question his own identity and the assumptions he had made about his attraction to women.

He felt like he was living a lie, but he wasn't sure how to come out to his friends or family.

At the same time, he feels guilty for making up excuses for delaying Police shows due to his personal life. He knows that he has to come clean with them eventually, but he's terrified of their reactions.

He wonders if they'll still accept him as a friend or if he'll be ostracized for his sexuality.

He also observed that it would put a huge halt to the careers of his bandmates and would eventually break up The Police. He couldn't bear the thought of losing the only family he had ever known.
