Eve and Ellie, two young girls who met in the very beginning of their middle school years when Ellie moved to their small Mississippi town. Now, they were both closer to graduating than starting high school. They were known for being the best of friends, practically always together. And even being maybe, just maybe, a little too close - too close for just friends. Sweet innocent Evelyn Wells, she was the preacher's daughter in a family of five with two older sisters. She came from a family of strict rules and schedules. She was naive, definitely, but slowly corrupted by the ways of life, slowly learning as she jumps her way through new obstacles. It's typical of her to keep to herself but she's not all that shy, especially when you know everyone in a small town. Ellie Johnson came from a family of, well...many things. She grew up in the city with her parents but that only lasted a short while. Her mother and father divorced when she was three and she was permanently in her mother's care. They moved around quite frequently until they found a rural Mississippi town that they settled in - Ellie, her mother, and her step dad, John, whom her mother met there. From there, she found her best friends, Eve, and they connected like no other. She is charming, funny, witty, rebellious, and social. She is active, the top player for their Christian school girls basketball team at Recon Christian High School. Now, it is up to these two teenage girls to manage their feelings in a small, conservative town with eyes constantly peering.

Nineteen-year-old Emerson Davie is an out-of-the-closet, young African American freshman beginning his first semester at New York University. He's just your average guy- quiet, humble, and all the things in between. A guy who likes to believe he knows himself pretty well. Until one night, the first night he'd ever gone to a frat, he finds himself waking up in a frat guy's room, with no clothes on, and only remembering small fragments of the night. Eighteen-year-old Lucca Garciá, who grew up in a religious Mexican household. Now on a football scholarship at Columbia University, he's trying his hardest to make his immigrant household proud. Raised with deep internalized homophobia, his relationship with desire had always been complicated- if not torturous. But on one of the first parties his house had thrown, he finds himself regrettably cross-faded, and wakes up the next morning with a guy next to him, completely remembering the night. What begins as a one-night stand that neither of them had ever planned turns into the reckoning neither of them can ever avoid. A guy who knows exactly what he wants. And a guy who has absolutely no idea. A recipe for disaster.
