Synopsis

Dresden Marich has failed out of high school three months shy of graduation. He's infatuated with his online friend, Evan, alienated from his family and former classmates, and still trying to recover from his father's death six years ago. He's also keeping a troubling secret about his older brother, Gunner, who is away at boot camp. 

Then Dresden meets Caleb, a judgmental environmentalist who's hardly Dresden's fantasy come true. But Caleb seems to understand Dresden's desire for rough sex, big feelings, and, ultimately, safety. As Dresden becomes embroiled in a farmers market drama involving Caleb, a couple of bullying tomato enthusiasts, and a gang of vigilante vegans, he discovers he might be willing to trade a fantasy relationship with Evan for a shot at something real with Caleb. 

But Dresden fears telling quick-to-judge Caleb his secret, and the news that Gunner is coming home sends him fleeing to California for a chance to meet Evan in person and hopefully fall in love. When the encounter doesn't go as expected, Dresden faces a choice: stay in California and carve out a new life, or take the long road home to his family, Caleb, and a past he must face if he has any hope for a future.
