Now Ollie is one prince short of his fairytale ending, and to complicate the fairytale further, a family emergency sees Ollie uprooted and enrolled at a new school across the country. Which he minds a little less when he realizes it's the same school Will goes to...except Ollie finds that the sweet, comfortably queer guy he knew from summer isn't the same one attending Collinswood High.

But then Will starts "e;coincidentally"e; popping up in every area of Ollie's life, from music class to the lunch table, and Ollie finds his resolve weakening.The last time he gave Will his heart, Will handed it back to him trampled and battered.
