Stuart Wilmington has had the same tight-knit group of friends for most of his life, which include his best friend Scott, and close friends Natalie and Lindsay. He often feels extremely uncomfortable in most social situations. Though he's been invited to all the senior parties, it is more of a formality on his friend's part; he has rarely attended any of them. But Scott has made Stuart promise that he'll finally make an appearance at Lindsay's house party. Feeling a bit guilty for not showing his face for months, Stuart forces himself to go - even though he has been anxiety-ridden ever since Lindsay had invited him. He doesn't often take chances - instead, he tends to stick to his familiar routines, and has particular behaviourism's that most people find eccentric, or just plain weird. But he isn't odd; he has high-functioning Asperger's. He just sees the world a bit differently than his peers, and often has trouble processing sensory around him. During the party, Stuart runs into two of his classmates – Jordan Finnegan, and David Rourke, who have been relentlessly harassing him for years. Tonight is no different. However, one of the party guests step in and put a stop to the bullying. Once rescued, Stuart finds himself overwhelmed by all the noise and the crowd, so he finds refuge out on Lindsay's porch. And it is there, that Stuart meets his rescuer, the charming Jason Banciu - a few years his senior, from the nearby town of Harrison. Jason is everything he's craving in a relationship - independent, gorgeous, and full of admiration and love for Stuart. At first, things seem to be going quite well. They start to casually date, and Stuart starts to feel more comfortable around his new boyfriend. Because Stuart has never dated before, he quickly feels overwhelmed, and completely out of his depth when it comes to their relationship. But he knows that he has fallen head over heels in love with Jason, and is determined to prove to the world that he is capable of being in an adult relationship.
