Vivendell High is a school where popularity means everything to its students. Many of them yearn to be at the top of the ladder, even if it means walking on the backs of others. The personalities of these individuals come in many different packages. Some as shallow as can be and others as crazy as they come. Nathan Nightshade, the large and scary yet invisible student makes it his mission to win over the charming, bubbly, and popular Noah. Problem is; Nathan is terrifying to many, and lacks apparent social skills. Nathan just wants a friend, someone other than his mother to talk to. He's well aware of the social ladder running his school, and if climbing it is what it takes to make friends, he's going to, only, he'll do it his way. Noah Ormen is the well known, kind, hyperactive seventeen year old who goes out of his way to talk to everyone around school. Unlike Nathan, Noah's got all of the friends he could ask for. Though no one could replace his best friend and partner in crime Taylor Wailing. They're well known for their mischievous tag team shenanigans around school.

At first glance, nobody would be able to tell that Nathaniel Jean had a problem. Or second glance, or third, or fourth. After all, he had everything. He was a captain of his school's soccer team and one of the top players in the state. He had a big house and money to spend. He had family, he had friends, he had fun, he had faith. He never meant for it to happen. He never wanted to look at another man in the way he should have been looking at a woman. The idea had disgusted him for most of his life - living in a heavily Catholic town with heavily Catholic parents, homophobia was the only response he knew. That didn't change when he first realized that he didn't like girls. No, Nathaniel Jean was still homophobic. He hated the idea of a man sleeping with another man. He was raised on the notion that all gays went to hell, and he believed it. He despised them, and so he despised himself. Nathaniel Jean was more fortunate than most, because help did arrive for him. Help by the name of Lucas Morgan, they boy he'd always known but never known. The boy with big dreams and bigger talent. The boy that changed Nathaniel's life over the course of their thirty-six week long senior year.
