Meet Radar Hansen: a young, shy, boy with severe anxiety and no friends, who is struggling to get along with his social life. His mother, Jenny (F! Jesse), attempts to get close with her son, but fails miserably most of the time, so she gets him to write letters to himself to increase his confidence. Meet Jesse Murphy, a teen addicted to drugs, who has slim to no relationship with his own family, which consists of his father, Steve, his mom, Alex, and his little sister, Nikki, who just happens to be Radar's long-time crush. The two boys meet at school, and Jesse signs Radar's head cast, (which he gained in a bad run-in with a bully who called himself "the Warden"), so they can both pretend they have friends. However, Jesse gets ahold of one of Radar's letters by accident, and sees how he mentioned Nikki. Enraged, thinking that Radar wrote it to make fun of him, he commits suicide a few days later. Now, Radar is stuck trying to keep a family not his own find closure, and with the help of his acquaintance, Lukas Kleinman, he sets up a fake friendship with the dead teen, starts a project to keep his memory alive, and tries to find the place he's always wanted in the world all at the same time.
❝I've been falling every day
since I first met you.❞
stolen glances,
hushed whispers,
teasing breaths,
lingering touches.
