Adrian is dogged by a strict mother, bullied by his teammates on the football field and chastised by the school principal, who considers the rumours that Adrian is gay as a sign that he is 'ill'.

Adrian finds himself falling in love, until Jeremy's girlfriend rats them out, sending the lovebirds into a tailspin of embarrassment. What will become of Adrian?
