Everyone wants something from high school senior Jake: his father is pushing him to try out for the basketball team, and his girlfriend wants to take their relationship to the next level. But it’s not until openly gay, basketball fanatic Aleks moves in across the street that Jake begins to recognize his own desires. To get closer to Aleks, Jake devotes himself to making the basketball team, only to realize it’s not basketball he really wants. Distraught and confused, Jake pulls away until he’s finally outed as gay.
