11 parts Complete MatureJesse Valentine's viral engagement made him America's sweetheart-the perfect gay love story everyone needed to see. But when a simple text reads "Hey there, pretty boy," his carefully constructed world begins to crumble.
Beneath Jesse's polished exterior lies a decade-old secret: Anson Donovan, his first love who destroyed him on prom night, leaving more than just a broken jaw in his wake. Now Jesse has everything he thought he wanted-Ezekiel, a stable banker who's planned their perfect future, viral fame that inspires LGBTQ2+ youth nationwide, and a life built on safety over passion.
But Anson is back. Sober, divorced, and finally brave enough to fight for what he lost. The star athlete who once whispered "Pretty Boy" against library shelves now threatens everything Jesse has built-and everything he's pretended to be.
Torn between the man who saves him and the man who sets him on fire, Jesse faces an impossible choice. How do you live authentically when your perfect lie has become other people's hope? How do you choose between safety and truth when millions are watching?
When Jesse's world explodes on live television, he'll discover that sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't loving someone who once broke you-it's pretending to be someone you're not.
A story about viral fame, second chances, and the courage to burn down a perfect life in pursuit of a real one.
