He loves his family, his friends, his dog, and his life. But, he is gay, and while not ashamed of himself, he is struggling with telling his loved ones the secret that he's been harbouring. He wants to wait to come out until university (doesn't everyone plan on a new life after secondary school?), but things change when he starts corresponding over intense emails with another mysterious classmate who is also nervous to come out.
