[close] A small town filled with prying eyes. A high school that tolerates bullying and violence. Parents who cannot handle news of their child being different. These are the three most volatile components of any teen struggling to find their way and when that child is a young lesbian struggling with her identity and how to keep it a secret, the mixture brews more trouble than most can imagine.

Growing up different is hard enough, but with the pressures of life in a small town, it can be down right impossible. For Shane, surviving her junior high and high school years was made possible because she stumbled upon a friend in the most unlikely of places, a teacher!
