Luke and Michael are gay. There's only one problem with that, and the problem is enormous.
Their entire small, usually peaceful, town is against gays. There's even a gang that will beat and kill gay people if they find them.
Michael calls a suicide hotline but doesn't know that the person who would answer is his classmate, Calum Hood. What happens when they're assigned to work on a group project together. The quiet boy who doesn't talk and the chatty boy who wants to help others.
