Carter is an impulsive, fun-loving, extremely gay teen on a mission to finally hook up with any cute, single guy who will have him. Unfortunately, his options are slim. Enter recently-single Adrian, Carter's very cute, hardworking, and stressed-out target who rebuffs all of his clumsy seduction techniques. Adrian initially plays along but slams on the breaks when he realizes he is still in love with his ex. After a messy, uninhibited night at a house party that results in Carter helping both Adrian and his best friend Maria- the two boys form a tentative friendship. As their friendship progresses through countless hangouts and a few too many pizza slices, the two become integral to one another. But can their vague relationship survive their first official hookup, Adrian's self-destructiveness, and a big fight that threatens any chance of either confessing?
