Aiden Reeves is a seventeen-year-old junior in high school. He is, what most would say, a loner, and not so much by choice. He is isolated for being gay in his home town of Bradford, England. But when his father gets a new job in California, Aiden, his mother, father, and younger sister Madison, pack their things and go. It's in the middle of the plane ride to Huntington Beach, California when he gets and idea. One in which he believes will help him fit in. He isn't going to tell anyone that he's gay. Not so much lying but just hoping that no one will ask.       Danny Ford is the schools 'it' boy. With top schools basically throwing scholarships his way for both his grades and lacrosse, he has his whole life laid out in front of him. His parents took the liberty of planning almost everything; graduate high school, go to a good college, marry a nice girl, and maybe have a kid or two. Danny is happy with his plans, he gets along well with everyone and always follows the rules, that is, until Aiden comes to town. He tells his parents everything but he doesn't have the heart to explain that he wants to create new plans.    Ones that don't involve a girl, but a boy.
