ENCORE TP

Clay's senior year of high school is in full swing – and he wants to enjoy it: with friends, theater dreams, and newfound confidence. But when his ex-best friend Aron suddenly reappears in his life and even in his theater class, Clay's carefully planned fresh start starts to falter.

Of all things, the two are paired up in improv class. Shared vulnerability on stage stirs up old, complicated feelings that Clay would rather suppress – especially since Aron is acting as if nothing ever happened between them, even though he ditched Clay back then for a cooler crowd. With each new exercise they spend more time together: they find their way back to each other through improv, jump into the pool on a whim, and watch movies together. Soon they see each other more often than their respective friend groups.

Clay's feelings can't stay hidden forever. But after everything that happened, can he trust Aron again?
