Brandon and Wilson at the Catch
Wilson feels best when he has a plan. His makeover scheme – to steal less, be more honest, and participate more in life – is intended to make him worthy of a decent boyfriend. He assumes it’ll take years. But then the new group home resident he’s crushing on volunteers to be his roommate when no one else will and then can’t seem to keep his shirt on around him or stop talking about girls.
Brandon feels best when his sheets are clean and his hair looks good. He thinks the group home might be the place he can finally meet girls without having to explain about his dead mother and his father in prison, but the one person who keeps drawing him in is his gay roommate with penetrative eyes who can’t stop talking about racial injustice.
But mostly the times when Wilson and Brandon feel the best are when they’re together.
Is Brandon worth Wilson changing his timeline for love? Is Wilson worth reconsidering who Brandon finds attractive? And will the chaos of group home life pull them apart before they have their chance at love?
