Sixteen-year-old Isaiah "Zay" Torres has lived in New Haven his whole life. He attends a public magnet school while working part-time at his uncle's bodega. A quiet artist, Zay keeps his queerness to himself - mostly because he's not sure how to put it into words. Then he meets North Carson - a Yale professor's son who just moved into the neighborhood from Brooklyn. North is bold, sarcastic, out, and unapologetically political, attending protests and organizing LGBTQ+ teen meetups. He's everything Zay isn't... and Zay can't stop thinking about him. As the two boys become unlikely friends (and maybe more), Zay finds himself pulled between two worlds: his neighborhood, where he's always tried to stay invisible, and the louder, freer world North introduces him to. Is he ready to be seen - and to let himself love out loud?
