Dan Howell is an introverted 17 year old, forced by his parents to go to a camp in hopes of him making friends. Even though Dan isn't the biggest social butterfly, he will do anything to make his parents happy. Will his dreaded past hold him back from making friends that will last a lifetime? Phil Lester is the the kindest and friendliest guy you will ever meet, his heart bigger than the average teenagers. After moving to Manchester, losing all of his friends, he goes to camp, hoping of meeting new people. Will he learn to open up again after leaving all that he had? "I could see the universe inside of him. Every inch of his body was filled with millions of stars. Galaxies formed inside his head. His hands were constellations. His lips, the Milky Way. And people thought they knew so much about him, but they did not even scratch the surface. He was the universe, all in one." - Masonisi

Phil is an orphan, bullied, and living alone with no friends in a home. He does his best not to let that fact that no one seems to care about him get to him, but it's getting harder. Then a nice couple start to take interest in him, and it turns out they have a son his age, Daniel, but the love they begin to share isn't of a brotherly nature...

Dan is different. He's learned to accept that. Well, as best he can anyway, considering he's never really had much of a choice. It's been this way for as long as he can remember, the constant runaround process of trying to feel normal. His life is built around it, trying to trick both himself and everyone he interacts with into seeing him as your average person. The isolation as he desperately tries to keep others from finding out, the bitterness that wells up inside of him each and every time he's reminded that he'll never be like everyone else, the fear that nothing will ever change. He's fated to be this way forever; a misfit from society. Isolation can only go so far though, so when he's struggling to make ends meet and he's faced with the option of looking into a serious job or taking on a roommate, he opts for what seems like the easier option at the time. It doesn't seem so easy ten failed roommates into the process, or when he sits down at a table to meet with prospect number eleven and ends up with a coffee spilled all over his lap. Potential roommate number eleven, Phil, turns out to be an insufferable optimistic ball of sunshine that Dan wants nothing to do with. His options are running out though, as are the savings he's been using to pay his rent, so he finds himself begrudgingly agreeing to let the other man move in. Neither of them have any way of knowing just what they've gotten themselves into as they shake on the matter, but time will tell.
