Sixteen-year-old Matthew is a football-playing badass with a baby face, a ruthless streak, and a laugh that can disarm anyone on Earth. His best friend and classmate, Luca, is his partner-in-crime. They do everything together, but during a late-night wrestling match over a stupid challenge on Matthew's bed, the tension shifts. Matthew asks a dangerous question: has Luca ever wanted to make love to a man? Luca's quick 'no' doesn't stop the sudden, heavy silence that follows. Now, tangled on the sheets, Matthew's ruthless mind is racing, calculating who should bottom. What started as an unbreakable bromance spirals into a secret, high-stakes game of dominant passion and hidden desires. As they navigate the homophobic pressures of their high school football team, Matthew must decide how far he will go to conquer the one boy he cannot afford to lose, risking their friendship for a taste of forbidden control.
