He falls into a deep depression, his grades start slipping and eventually, he finds himself clinging to drugs for support. Kellin has nearly given up hope when a new teacher arrives at his school, Mr Fuentes, who is determined to help the teen get his life back on track. Kellin soon finds a new addiction, a forbidden one; Fuentes. He forces his feelings back, believing that he is chasing a lost cause, but when a slip of fate takes place, he isn't quite so sure.
