Malik Carter has always played it safe-honor roll student, future basketball star, and the golden boy of his small Atlanta neighborhood. But behind his confident exterior, he's hiding a truth only his family knows-Malik is intersex. He's spent his whole life trying to fit into the expectations placed on him, pushing down his doubts, his questions, and especially his feelings for boys.

Between late-night freestyle sessions and stolen glances in the school hallways, Malik finds himself falling-hard. But in a world where masculinity is strictly defined, can Malik embrace all of who he is and still find love?
