Two young boys come of age in a small midwestern town, each with his own secret. While one accepts himself willingly, the other struggles with societal pressure, threats of violence, and his undeniable urges that force him to question what's most important to him; a "normal" life or one full of love? A simple handwritten letter from a friend sends Ryan spiraling down memory lane as he recounts his life and his choices along the way.
