i want to love a boy, the way i love the ocean

wish i was not afraid, of all i have that's broken

i know i must behave, to contain all my emotion

but i want to love a boy, the way i love the ocean

Samantha (Sam) Quincey is gay and in 1985, this only makes life difficult. After the horrible realisation and life changing fear that her sexual understanding placed on her, Sam finds herself completely alone without a purpose in life or a goal for her future.

She tells herself it couldn't possibly be any other way. Her parents had stated this 'choice' would leave her with nothing and although they were wrong about believing that Sam had forced herself into this path of life they did make sense knowing that Sam could never be open with who she was, she could never be who she wanted to be. Therefore it seemed impossible that she would ever find somebody to love.

However in 1985 Sam finds herself babysitting her half sister, taking her around Starcourt mall and feeding her obsession with ice cream.

That's how Sam stumbled upon Robin Buckley for the second time in her life, once an insignificant figure in a blurred sea of faces and now absolutely everything to her heart.

How can Sam possibly hope to hide away and live her life in isolation when such perfection is only minutes away?

Sam may think that getting to know Robin is a perfectly innocent tactic to understanding but in reality, this new friendship is when things start to get strange, very strange.
