Nathan - 19 years old, passionate about technology but struggling to find steady work. He's dealing with hidden pain and family troubles no one really understands. Nathan is a master at masking his emotions, burying his struggles beneath an obsessive work ethic that gives him a fragile escape from his difficulties.

Melinda - Nathan's girlfriend, also 19. She comes from wealth and lives a carefree, confident life. She genuinely loves Nathan and constantly worries about his happiness, but Nathan, burdened by his own demons, rejects the idea of love altogether. Despite being his lifeline, she remains unaware of the full depth of his pain.

Simon - Also 19, energetic and charismatic with a magnetic presence. He's harbored feelings for Nathan since their sophomore year. Raised in an overprotective family that restricts his social life, Simon's desire for connection and freedom contrasts sharply with his sheltered upbringing.

Plot Premise:
When a series of devastating events peel back the layers of Nathan's hidden despair, the fragile threads connecting these three lives begin to unravel - revealing how deeply their stories are intertwined, and how their fates revolve around each other in unexpected and heartbreaking ways.

"When something terrible happens to someone, everyone feels sorry for you at first, they take your hand and cry fake tears and say how 'special' you are, how strong you are. But after a while they forget...Then they don't see a person anymore they just see this terrible thing and think you're terrible because of it...It's like a little switch that goes off in people's heads: one minute everyone is your friend and they care oh-so much, then, when things die down, they become terrified of you. You'd be surprised to see what fear can make someone do." Justin Ivanov has never led much of a normal life, but when his sister passes away, his entire world falls apart. Trapped in an abusive relationship and in a school where everyone is scared of him, Justin continues to deteriorate, pinning all his hope on his confused best friend, Ben Fulton. He struggles to keep his family together without them finding out the hidden secret of his sexuality. But the more he fails, the closer he gets to losing himself forever. Ben Fulton doesn't understand what depression is. He doesn't understand why people have it or how to fix it. But when the sudden death of his best friend's sister leaves him feeling empty, he comes too close to comfort with just what depression can make someone do. Trying to sort out his own emotions, sexuality, and future out, Ben also has to balance trying to save Justin. But the more he tries, the more his feelings grow for his best friend, and the closer Justin gets to destroying himself.

"Sooner or later, you'll fall for me, too." Theodore bursts into laughter. "I don't know where your confidence is coming from." Jacob chuckles and says, "I just know." And then it catches Theodore off guard when Jacob adds, "We should be making out right now." Theodore swallows and looks him in the eye. "We should." "And I should be undressing you at this very moment," he continues, "We could stay up all night with our hands on each other and just... forget everything." ****** Meet Jacob and Theodore, the polar opposites within a tight-knit circle of the most esteemed members of society. Jacob, reserved and hard to read, isn't exactly Theodore's biggest fan-unlike everyone else, who's head over heels for the golden boy. However, as they navigate their way through law school, they trip over a connection that sparks a lowkey romance, catching both of them by surprise.
