Born months apart to lifelong friends, growing up Benji Hartkainen and Duncan McKerracher developed an inseparable bond as strong as any brotherhood from spending so much life together. Understanding and accepting that he was different early in his teens, Duncan has a clear picture of what he wants and needs from life; Benji. For Benji however it is a world of confusion, using a one foot in, one foot out approach to matters of the heart. Through the mixed signals Duncan’s greatest hope in landing the guy of his dreams lies in that he knows his friends heart and mind better than anyone, or so he hopes. Navigating the push and pull of peer pressure and social acceptance in everyday teenage suburban life while testing the limits of their friendship, each must find the inner strength to reconcile their own desires and fight for their dreams as they grow into themselves and discover who they really are, in order to become who they want to be In This Cruel World.
Secrets. Some are big, some are small. Some need to be protected more carefully than others. Born into an ultra-conservative farming family, fifteen year old Eli Johnson learned this early in life and lived by it until a picturesque summer day when he was discovered being a little too friendly with his secret boyfriend. The discovery of one secret set the wheels in motion for many more secrets in his young life. Hiding the even bigger secret of his resulting homelessness, now going by the name Neville Reilly, he learns to better guard his secrets until Bailey Regan walks into his life. As he slowly gains the confidence of Bailey while cautiously pursuing him, desire begins to fight against the secrets that are now both a large part of him, and key to his very survival. Yet, while forced to conceal his secrets, he’s sure Bailey would understand. If only he could tell him. If only Bailey could read his mind, if only Bailey could see he's hiding in plain sight, it would be so much easier.
