Anxiety, denial, losing a friend, losing a job. Atom might never leave his apartment again. He may never see his friends again, and why? A very good friend of his was the victim of a fatal hate crime. Now, he fears he may be next and the only way to stay safe is to stay home.
His friends won't let him slip through the cracks, though, and their attempts to carve him out of his hiding spot lead him to Reuther, an ice-cream truck driver longing for just one real friend who doesn't crash his car or get him fired.
Atom is fine to do without this new connection, but Reuther's curiosity about the boy from the 5th floor who he only talks to through paper notes and spare change becomes an obstacle that Atom can't run away from.

Evan isn't keen on the idea of switching schools in his last year of high school, until uncovering his classmate's secret gives him a reason to stick around. Junior, who just wants to get through his last year in town in one piece, isn't happy about Evan finding out said secret. Dario is clever, but his compulsions and insomnia are getting on the way. It doesn't help that he is hopelessly falling for an infamous heartbreaker. Beau was supposed to be done with love and only be after hook ups, but things get complicated when he finds himself unable to get Dario off his mind. If only he had realized how damaging his impulsive behavior might be for someone like Dario. 𝘍𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘨𝘶𝘺𝘴. 𝘓𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭. 𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱.
