Troye, the new boy in town, moved because there were... 'problems' where he lived: Perth, Australia, where his hopes and dreams were supposed to become reality, and he had gotten in deep trouble. And, as his parents believe, if they move - why not somewhere Troye hasn't been? Starting completely fresh in the state LA, completely closed off and void of any emotion, even with his parents and siblings there to help and willing to take a bullet for him, Troye finds himself lonely - but that's what he wants... right? Just to block off, else he'll mess up again, spill his secrets to people he thinks he can trust, and his fresh start would be a waste. But just as Troye starts accepting his fate as outcast, with rumors about him everywhere and no social contact whatsoever, a bubbly, perky boy laughs his way into Troye's life: Tyler Oakley. There is more to think of than his growing interest in Tyler, though: his past is coming up, and he seems to be in more danger than he thought he was.
