After coming out as gay and confessing his feelings to his best friend, Beau, Theo becomes the most hated person in existence. His unstable brother is even worse than the bullies and teachers at school, and his drunken father doesn't care about what's going on under his roof. But no one is as cruel to Theo as he is to himself. His life turned into a painful hell, he is on the verge of ending his misery once and for all, but then an unlikely savior emerges. Deon, the school's notorious troublemaker, has a deal for him: he will keep the bullies at bay as long as Theo acts as his sidekick, keeping watch as he's breaking the rules, fetching his coffee, and carrying his bag. Fearfully, Theo accepts his new meaning as the hotheaded Deon's servant, considering it as just another cruel prank, but when Deon surprisingly keeps his end of the bargain, Theo's life starts to look a little brighter again… …especially when his deepest wish seems to come true.
