Chester is the water polo team’s star player and will find himself immediately attracted to Sam, the school’s new guidance counselor. Sam will try to uncover the vulnerable side of the unapologetic and outspoken Chester. Chester’s classmate, Nathan, has a crush on Chester and will try to figure out how to tell his parents about his bisexuality. He is extremely close to his twin sister Naomi, who will have to confront her inner fears when she learns about her boyfriend, Jack, cheating on her by hooking-up with her brother. Closeted lesbian, Greta, will try to deal with her feelings for her classmate Riley.
All these storylines will be tied up by the mystery of one character’s secret pregnancy.
