What follows is a campus romance tested by rumors, a surprising identity reveal and family rejection, with the abusive Pike family as a heavy backdrop. The tone mixes quiet longing with a satisfying sense of karma. Aiden learns to let go of the wrong love, and the man who treated him as a backup is left to face his own choices. It all plays out across 28 short episodes.
