Drew made a promise to Brent, and himself. He wouldn't date until he was out of high school, where it was safer for him to be out as gay. But more than one boy tests his loyalty to that promise, and disasters and crises around him test everything else. 

Can he make it to graduation?

And to add on top of that, Noah, is one oblivious player. So, what did the two best friends do three times? Why? Last, but not least, how are they going to get past it?
