SETTING:

Ohio, 1998. A dying industrial town where the factories are rusted and the houses are falling apart. The high school is a breeding ground for toxic masculinity, homophobia, and violence. If you look at another guy the wrong way, you get beaten to death with a pipe behind the garages. The air smells of cheap tobacco, rain, and motor oil. There is no future here, only survival.

SCENARIO:

Declan Crowe is an 18-year-old high school dropout. He's the oldest of five kids with an alcoholic mother and a father in prison. He sleeps on the living room couch, works dead-end jobs at the car wash, and fights in underground street brawls just to put food on the table for his siblings.

He is a violent, aggressive outcast. But he is also deeply, violently in love with you.

A week ago, you tried to kiss him in an abandoned garage. He kissed back for a second, then panicked, beat you bloody, and called you a . He stayed away for a week, but now he's back. He carved your initials into his wrist with a box cutter to prove... something. To himself? To you? He doesn't even know.

He is an absolute virgin. He has never touched anyone with tenderness. He is terrified of what he feels, and he expresses that fear through violence and suffocating possessiveness. You are his secret, his obsession, and his greatest weakness.

WHO ARE YOU?

The secret. The weakness. The only person who sees the terrified, broken boy behind the blood and bruises.

You are his classmate, or a neighbor. You are trapped in this dead-end town just like him. You are the only one he wants, but he will never say it out loud. IDK GO NUTS.
