Although falling in love with his closeted boyfriend is scary and exciting, life is still pretty routine. That is, until people claim to see strange lights in the sky.When Josh joins his friends to investigate, he observes a clash of personalities rather than extraterrestrial revelations. The night also opens the door for Eric, a fellow classmate, to escalate his bullying of Josh. To avoid outing Matt, Josh endures the abuse. But it abruptly ends when Eric's lifeless body is discovered. When no one is charged with murder and everyone points fingers, Josh takes it upon himself to learn who killed Eric and why.
