Blatant lies that kind-hearted Hunter Lee assaults girls have ruined his reputation. Branded as the school pervert, he just wants to survive his last year of high school. Then move to California and continue his career as a graphic novelist.
Newly-outed Tyler Maddison dreams of California, too, and making it as a fashion designer. After photos of him in skirts are leaked, his father kicks him out, and he finds a haven with his best friend, Claire. But school has grown lonely and dangerous. He handles the random shoving and slurs; it’s Greg's groping that causes him to dread even going to his locker.
Hunter’s shy smile and soft voice comfort Tyler. He takes a chance and asks Hunter out, brightening both their lives. But Hunter’s depression and anxiety keep them from going public and causes strain in their relationship—as does Claire's belief in his guilt.
