Short Summary
- Our creator's name is Murphy Howard. He has had this project on the drawing table for years and the project is finally coming together BUT we need your help for the final push into production.
- Below is a description of the plot of the show's main-characters.
"Young adults are growing up in small town USA. Matthew Carter, the central figure of the show, must deal with his parents' faltering marriage while the stress of school and his conflicting thoughts on his burgeoning sexuality weigh him down - but when a new student, Cedric Jones, arrives in town, Matt begins to feel as though everything might be okay after all; that is, until a pivotal part of his past comes back into focus, and Matt learns that what happens in the past doesn't always necessarily stay there. Meanwhile, his best friend Henry must deal with the abuse which is present in his family, all while tending to his own inner demons. Elsewhere, Alexander Rivera balances a relationship with mother-to-be, Leila, with an affair in erratic Anastasia, who is pushed over the edge when her feelings of no one needing her and sense of abandonment come to a head. In the end, it becomes clear that old grudges die hard, and Matt is going to face the consequences of his past."
What We Need & What You Get
Here are the details for our needs and the rewards that we are offering:

The #1 reward will be a signed script from the pilot episode. A credit will be provided on IMDb as well as a special thank you in the ending credits of the episode. Other than that there will be a shout out "thank you" on the TV-show's official social media pages.
An interview with any member(s) of the production is also available, should any of our pledgers be interested.
The Impact
The show has several important storylines including:
- Family issues: Henry, one of our main characters, has an abusive father. Throughout the first season, we aim to depict how this influences Henry's life, his family and what decisions he is forced to make because of this.
- LGBTQ representation: We have several characters who are members of the LGBTQ community. These characters will help us tell important stories inspired by real life.
- Puberty and identity: The main characters of the show are all young adults. The characters have their own stories of what it means to grow up to become your own person.
