"Two young men from Sydney's South-West navigate their sexualities amongst societal pressures, family expectations and internalised homophobia."

Overview

The story centers on Cayden O'Connor (played by Mitch Eliot), a local tradie electrician from Miller with a rowdy group of Aussie bogan mates. Cayden's secret love interest is Hakeem Malik, a university student from Fairfield. Compounding the pressure of his hidden relationship, Cayden is left raising his little brother, Brayden, with no parental figures around. While Cayden's girlfriend (played by Ella Sullivan) steps in to help raise the young boy, the arrangement adds an overwhelming layer of external and internal tension to Cayden's life. Together, the cast offers a raw, witty, and moving look at contemporary LGBTQIA+ experiences in a region often left out of mainstream queer narratives.
