Only the band has fallen apart and he’s taken a real tumble through a glass table, putting himself in the hospital. On the verge of losing a battle with an eating disorder and a body dysmorphic disorder, Dane calls the only person he believes he has left to trust, former bandmate Tommy Foster. Unsure how to help, Tommy enlists the help of his new friend Bas Axelrod. Bas is eager to escape high school life and the constant cruelty of his classmates for being out and flamboyantly gay. His parents are suing him for the inheritance his dear departed gran left him, his younger brother takes sport in bullying him, and Bas can’t help but remember one horrible night that almost ended his life. But Bas finds strength in supporting his friends, and guiding others toward a more positive path. So when Tommy calls, Bas answers. Together Bas and Dane build a relationship of understanding, self-acceptance, and hope. Will their new friendship hold up when a girl goes missing and the entire community is looking for someone to blame?
