It's 2015, and teenage Jake Hardy is hiding something. During a summer trip to the Titanic Mecca of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Jake's father makes a confession, and though Jake feels upset and confused, he also wants to be understanding. But he feels deceived--much like he's deceiving those he cares about. Jake is gay, just not ready to tell the world. Jake and his father are far from alone in their secrets, as Jake discovers back in Texas, where the fight for and against the Equal Rights Ordinance rages. He's surprised to learn how much the outcome will affect his friends, and he's torn between standing with them and the wishes of his religious fanatic mother. Being true to himself won't be easy or painless, and it will come with sacrifices--and rewards.
