In the halls of Oakbrooke High, Owen Hernández struggles with a secret that threatens to tear his world apart: his growing feelings for his best friend, Joey Li. As Owen grapples with his sexuality, family abuse, and the pressures of teenage life, he finds solace in Joey's warm, welcoming family-a stark contrast to his own troubled home.
But when a creative writing assignment forces Joey to confront his own hidden emotions, their friendship is pushed to the breaking point. With the threat of violence at home and the fear of rejection looming over them, Owen and Joey must navigate the turbulent waters of first love, identity, and the true meaning of friendship.
Set against the backdrop of late-90s Chicago, "Teenage Rebellion" is a raw and poignant coming-of-age story that explores the complexities of young love, the pain of keeping secrets, and the courage it takes to be true to oneself in a world that doesn't always understand.
