We all know the male stereotypes, don't we? That men and boys aren't supposed to cry, that they are dominant, and even that they should always be tough and the best at things, like sports. Olivia, a young woman with a bright mind, never believed in these stereotypes. She married, and soon had a son who she named Liam. Even though Liam had no siblings and no father, he was always happy to just be with his mother. He often played with barbies, watched "girly" television shows, and even occasionally would wear dresses. When Liam gets to highschool though, things start to change. His ways of life are no longer accepted by everyone else, and is often picked on. That is, until one day the captain of the football team, Jacob, notices him. And in his eyes, Liam is the boy who grew up just right.

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.
