Malcolm is unique. We might as well call him that since he's the only openly gay guy in the suburbs, and the only male in his school who isn't obnoxious. His family never supported him, and always act nice when people are over, and horrible when it's just them.
Malcolm is a Planetary. A person who expresses themself through creation of planets, and his best friend, Dan, is a furry. They met each other there, and live far from each other. He was the first person online who talked to him, and the only one to this day. However, they always feel welcome online.
Malcolm starts having insanely vivid dreams every night, and he notices that they come to life the next day. So, when he has a dream about a loved one coming back to life, his whole life changes.
Then, when Malcolm has a horrific nightmare, he tries to stop it from happening in real life. But sometimes, the dreams don't come to life, and emotional consequences are at risk.
