Always Raining Here follows Carter, an impulsive, fun-loving, and 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. Adrian rebuffs all of Carter's clumsy seduction techniques and although he initially plays along, he slams on the brakes when he realises he is still in love with his ex.

After a messy, uninhibited night at a house party, which 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, they 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?
