Overview
Boys Like Me is a powerful story that will take you on a journey through the eyes of a precocious twelve-year-old boy named Roy.

He holds strong ethics and an unwavering commitment to the truth. Roy falls for Kid, the "best looker" he's ever seen. When Kid becomes distant due to problems at home, Roy begins to have strange visions that shake his understanding of reality.
One day, after being dumped by Kid for no apparent reason, Roy is brutally attacked by an older boy who tries to steal his handmade bike. As he lies face down on the gravel by the railroad tracks, a mysterious Dark Angel intervenes, switching the teenager.
