Dream is running from his problems. You would be too if you were in his situation. Unfortunately, the only person available to help give him a ride is a childhood friend he hasn't spoken to since middle school.

George is running from his memories. And his problems. And his old life. And his feelings. And he "borrowed" a car and he has a lot of spare time so when his old pal needs a ride across the country, he's happy to offer.

The problem is, there are a few problems. One: Four years can definitely change a lot about a person, much less two people. Two: You can only suppress emotions for so long before they resurface. Three: Being runaways means you are running from someone.

alt: two gays stuck in a car together with their suppressed emotions and childhood memories. what could go wrong?
