Seventeen-year-old Leo leads a seemingly typical life. Drunken parties, lazy days spent with friends and making out with his girlfriend Monique. However, underneath his exterior, Leo has a secret. As he finds himself increasingly attracted to his best friend Boof, and the quiet introverted boy at school, Tom, Leo’s feelings force him to come to terms with his true desires. Faced with the fear of rejection from those closest to him, Leo must navigate the uncertain waters of acceptance and love.
