Overview
In a small town where silence feels safer than truth, two teen boys share a friendship charged with a magnetic attraction neither knows how to name. As shame and age shape who they are becoming, their bond asks an unspoken question: is it strong enough, or will their growing differences pull them apart forever?
Mark and Brett have been inseparable since they were five, running wildly along the meandering creek that cuts through their neighborhood in the Pennsylvania countryside. Their friendship is riddled with intense closeness and complication, a dynamic that is confusing to Mark and exhilarating to the seemingly more sure-of-himself Brett.
Together, they spend their high school years dealing with persistent bullies, overbearing siblings, and parents, whose own lives and struggles remain a mystery until the boys are old enough to understand them.
As teenagers, Mark struggles with his attraction to other boys, while Brett thrives in his heterosexuality, or so he claims. As high school nears its end, a reckoning bubbles to the surface—one that forces the boys to confront their true feelings for one another, or go their separate ways and leave the creek and the wooded pathways they know so well behind.
