In the city of Cloudwater, Washington resides a new genderqueer boy named Arthur Perez. Arthur meets an eccentric boy named Joaquin Forester who always talks as if he was in some cheesy 80s movie. Joaquin and his family have a secret he mustn't tell anyone, but Arthur was smart enough to uncover it himself. Somehow this doesn't get in the way of its crush for Joaquin, it only strengthens it. He too has a family secret.
