Closeted Californian teen, Heath Walter, finds a job opportunity in Oregon, where he discovers two vitalities: His identity and Mark Reyes.

It is the year 1993. Closeted Heath Walter was born and raised in California by his extremely conservative and traditional parents. Desperate to escape his narrow-minded hometown, Heath stumbles across a summer job opportunity as a fire lookout in Oregon. Heath's only companion is his supervisor, Mark Reyes. Despite their only means of communication being from a handheld transceiver, both share a special kind of bond throughout the entire summer, one that will question Heath's lifestyle and choices, including his then-girlfriend, Jennifer.

The Smile Has Left Your Eyes

12 parts Complete Mature

"We've been best friends for fourteen years. Did you really think I wouldn't notice? I can see it... in your eyes. Your smile never reaches your eyes." -- When Aspen Ace falls, he falls hard. It's a gradual descent that happens so naturally, Aspen doesn't even recognize anything's changed until he's already neck-deep in an unrequited love for his best friend, Rafe Alvarez. Nervous and insecure, Aspen brings this new revelation to the person he trusts most-his older brother, Alex. He doesn't expect to be met with unconditional acceptance, but the reaction he receives is nightmare fodder. Regret barely scratches the surface of Aspen's emotions when his brother decides to blackmail him, but with no other option, Aspen learns to survive. Aspen can deal with the abuse as long as Alex keeps his sexuality a secret. He'll just wait it out. Aspen will graduate high school with a baseball scholarship and get the hell out of his conservative hometown... if he can endure. But he can't, and Aspen's suddenly fighting not only his brother, but the all-consuming monster in his head.
