This can pretty much be summed up in one word, boring! The main focus is about a senior in high school who is secretly gay and working to come to terms with that. A second storyline is about a gay couple and their friend in their mid-to-late twenties. One day the boy sees them and in time becomes friends with them and they kind of mentor him on being gay, a little bit. Honestly, that would have made a more interesting story had the focus been on that. I think they were just trying to show regular lives happening, but it was such a drag on time, where most scenes contributed nothing to the story at all. The potential was in the boy accepting that he was gay and living his life, but after he finally says it out loud there is basically only one more scene focused on him and then it moves back to the friend group. Not one that I'd watch again, it was more of one that I barely made it through.
