Pinecrest Boys

Coming Out

Alex is a sixteen year old misfit teen at Canada's most elite private school growing up in the mid 1990's.  Confused and struggling with his sexuality, he wards off advances from a pedophile teacher and begins an affair with one of his fellow students. Sadly this relationship quickly unravels with the revelation of their affair to both classmates and teachers alike and following the death of Alex's mother soon after the collapse of his parent's marriage and his father's affair. While Alex struggles with his mother's death and his father's betrayal, he begins a new life across the country in Victoria British Columbia at a much different co-ed private school with only his presumably gay godfather and his grandmother to help him. Living alone at seventeen with access to money and alcohol, Alex continues to come to terms with his new life and quickly falls for the most popular boy at his new school, Pinecrest. Despite what seems like Ben's perfection, Alex quickly finds out that there is much more going on in this sleepy town and at this quiet school.  During the course of his senior year he must come to terms with love, loss, and his sexuality, while fending off threats from both the girls and the boys at Pinecrest who are also vying for Ben's affections.
