Description
A trans pianist makes a New Year's resolution to win regionals and win back his ex. But when he meets a new boy who complicates things, his plans are put in jeopardy. Miles Jacobson has two resolutions: winning back his ex-boyfriend Shane McIntyre and beating his arch-nemesis at the piano competition. However, Shane is ignoring him, and Miles' new teacher criticizes his playing, saying he doesn't know himself. Miles meets Eric Mendez, a queer cartoonist from Seattle who asks for his pronouns and shares his love of art. They pretend to date to get into a couples-only party, but their ruse turns real with a kiss. As Miles navigates his feelings for Eric, he struggles to understand why it feels like the only person he's not been enough for is himself. This heartfelt debut explores themes of identity, self-acceptance, and first love through the story of Miles Jacobson, a trans boy who must confront his own doubts and insecurities.
