Tommy's life is a mess. His dad's a drunk, his mom is who knows where, his head's full of crap he can't make sense of, and he's been spiraling lately. After another huge fight with his dad, he ends up drunk and barely holding it together, thinking about doing something he'll regret.
Tommy's got one good friend tho-
Danny.
Even though they didn't seem to talk much anymore, Tommy was always thinking about him.
For once, Tommy actually feels like someone *gets* him. Danny's also out trying to escape his own problems, But shit gets.. weird after something happens...
And when school started back up, shit got weirder.
Between locker room inccdents, and fining Danny on the street, Tommy's kinda got feelings for Danny, but he's too confused to admit it.
George suffers from epilepsy which causes him to be bullied for that at school. After being humiliated in front of the whole school for being gay, the popular boy named Clay decides to stand up for him.
Clay, suffering from diabetes with abusive and not supportive parents, does everything to help George get rid of the bullies while struggling a lot himself.
The two start getting closer and closer until Clay starts realising he's more similar to George than he expected to be, wanting to be closer to him every day. But will George trust him after what happened before?
