[Longer Blurb]
Taylor and Darko, Darko and Taylor: Two lifelong best friends. The two have their differences - Taylor's a musical geek, a natural talent with the piano, and Darko's a gifted dirt-bike enthusiast - but they both share a life-changing secret.
Taylor's bisexual, Darko's gay, and they are both secretly in love with each other.
Over the years, the two have suppressed their feelings, cruising through high school. While it's been easy presenting as macho straight dudes, both boys are sick of the façade, each toying with the idea of coming out in their own unique ways. It's never that easy, though. They're both entangled in two complicated webs--one filled with grief and guilt and another filled with lies--and both have got to navigate through them before either can find the true happiness they seek.
Sometimes, however, the silky threads of the web are more comforting than the unknown abyss below.
Will they come clean about their feelings? Or will they keep a straight face until the very end?
