Some lines blur when hearts betray the rules.
Jayden has always known who he is-popular, confident, and destined for the NBA. But when his childhood best friend, Micah, returns after years abroad, things begin to shift. Micah is everything Jayden remembers: witty, grounded, and now openly gay. What Jayden didn't expect was the growing ache in his chest every time Micah smiles... or the fire that flares when they touch.
As they reconnect under one roof, in the quiet hours of midnight talks and shared silences, feelings rise that Jayden doesn't want to face. Micah is all in-but Jayden is stuck in denial, clinging to an identity that doesn't have space for love that scares him.
In a world that sees love in black and white, Jayden must choose: protect his image or risk everything for the only person who makes him feel truly seen.
