A 16 year old high schooler named Aiden Harris navigates through his high school and his social life. He has everything people swear should make him happy, loving parents, friends, a knack for music. But beneath the surface, he's drowning in self-loathing, loneliness, and the desperate need to feel something real. Between awkward laughs, terrible decisions, and moments that cut too deep, his story asks: how do you keep going when you can't even stand yourself? This story tackles heavy themes of loneliness and depression and is inspired by shows like BoJack Horseman
