When quiet new student y/n transfers to a small-town high school, the last person he expects to notice him is Mateo Varela — the reckless, tattooed senior with a reputation for fights, broken hearts, and trouble. What starts as tension quickly turns into something intense and impossible to ignore. As rumors spread, friendships fall apart, and rivalries turn violent, both boys are forced to hide parts of themselves they’re terrified to admit out loud. Between jealousy, late-night drives, toxic parties, and the pressure of being closeted in a town that watches everything, Rowan and Mateo slowly become each other’s safest place — and biggest weakness. Messy, emotional, and addictive, the story follows two damaged boys trying to survive senior year without destroying themselves or each other first.
