Overview
A teen growing up in the 90s has his life upended, when he is forced to change high schools for his Junior year and leave behind his best friends. This seems like an amazing opportunity for a gifted student, but for Wes, there's more to the story. His ex-best friend attends the new school and to make matters worse, Wes is keeping some pretty big secrets -- all of which are about to come to light.
