This is the story of an unlikely friendship between a 19 year old gay boy and his socially awkward 52 old neighbor (talking major cringe factor awkward). Things go well for them until he gets his first boyfriend, and as sometimes happens, the boyfriend has a very negative influence on him and this causes Nate to lash out (verbally) and hurt the people around him. He then withdraws for months, but eventually he returns seeking to repair the damage he had done.
