About

Louis Beau is a perfectionist and anxiety-ridden eleventh-grader attending Roseborough High. He lives with his strict and somewhat neglectful father and constantly tries to best himself to make his father proud. His life, however, runs off course when he befriends Daniel, his ostracized classmate, and the two soon find themselves in a secret love affair. Louis struggles with finding himself as he struggles with his sexuality and his growing fondness for Daniel all while trying to gain the approval of his father, his peers, and ultimately, his self.
