In the outer suburbs of Melbourne, seventeen-year-old Leo leads a seemingly typical life. Amidst hanging out with friends, bickering with his Italian family, going to school, and making out with his girlfriend, Monique, Leo guards a secret he’s afraid to confront. As Leo grapples with his inner turmoil, he finds himself unexpectedly drawn to his best friend, Boof, and a boy at school, Tom. These newfound feelings force Leo to confront his true desires and come to terms with his identity. Everything changes when rumors about Leo’s sexuality begin to circulate shattering his once stable world. Faced with the fear of rejection from those closest to him, Leo must navigate the uncertain waters of acceptance and love.
