Being a gay teen can be difficult, but for Dustin Blanchard, it's been pretty boring, actually. In less than twenty-four hours he's going to graduate from high school. His parents and friends have always given him their full support and unconditional love. He's always had plenty of friends in school, he's attractive, always gotten good grades, and he's headed into a new chapter of life-university after his last summer of working at a local ice cream joint. His life has been...blessed. There's just one thing. He's never had a boyfriend. Never gotten laid. Never even been kissed. Well, not like that, anyway. So, life has been good, but it's been boring. When he came out, Dustin imagined his own rom-com, teenage, coming-of-age scenario playing out, finding a boyfriend in high school, and being crowned dual Kings of the Prom. Nothing ever works out the way he imagines, though, and he's getting pretty tired of it. On the night of his graduation, Dustin and his friend, Miguel, come up with a plan while sharing a few beers swiped from the neighborhood barbecue. If you can't get laid through skill and swagger of your own, you can always turn to a professional. All you need is the internet and a device. So, buzzed from the beers, Dustin logs onto Briefly Buddies to find the perfect guy to help him achieve his first real gay experience. And that's where everything really started to go wrong...

All Jude wants to do is play Bandits online with his friends, write articles for his blog, get good grades, and hopefully, get accepted into a university with a decent journalism program. After all, his dream is to become a first-rate journalist, writing about the issues the young people of the world deal with every day. As far as he's concerned, he's crushing his goals.When Whitmer Central High School's principal decides he won't allow a student to start an LGBTQ+ Student Union, Jude's whole world is thrown for a loop.No one is standing up for what's right, and everyone seems to accept that it's just not worth fighting for an LGBTQ+ club at Whitmer High.One night, in a fury over what is going on at his high school, and how his principal has treated him, Jude writes a scathing, yet fair, rebuke of his school's decision. The next thing Jude knows, he's the subject of a national news article, he's gone viral on the internet, and he's become both a hero and a pariah at his school.Quickly, he starts to realize that his dream career may not be as honorable and honest as he once thought, universities will avoid students who rock the boat, friends don't always stick up for friends, and adults don't always know what's best. What's Jude to do? His moms couldn't be prouder of him, but what does all of this mean for a teen who hasn't quite figured out his own sexuality?
