Phil Reyno is a âtroublemaker.â With a punk aesthetic and a quick temper, Phil knows that itâs surprising to see him dating universally beloved Cameron Ellis, whose viral coming out video made him an internet darling.

When Cameron dumps Phil and torpedoes his already-iffy reputation in the process, Phil hatches a plot to expose Cameron as the two-faced liar he truly is. And he finds the perfect weapon in his old pal Jackson, who agrees to infiltrate Cameronâs circle and uncover dirt.
But as Phil and Jackson rediscover their friendshipâand moreâthey start to wonder⌠Will knocking Cameron off his pedestal really solve their problems?
