Cory is trapped in a world where people just don't understand what it's like to be different. He has a hard time expressing feelings to anyone, besides his dog JJ and he gets nervous in almost any situation. With being different unacceptable, he is also forced to keep his deepest darkest secret to himself; he's gay. And it's not until one person shows up to school, on that one really sucky day, when everything changes. For good and for bad.
