Chevy Durham is the big man on campus, the star quarterback of the football team. He's the guy every boy wants to be like and every girl wants to be with. There's just one problem... he's gay.

Nobody knows except James, a cute emo boy who Chevy meets on the first day of senior year. As things heat up between them, his secret is threatened to be exposed by a spurned cheerleader who sees the boys on a date at the county fair.
