[1] Fifteen-year-old Neil Shafer is a nerd in high school whose secret passion is writing slash – amateur fiction that imagines erotic relationships between the two male characters of various TV and film series.

Neil is greatly embarrassed when another student snatches the exercise book that contains his writings, and it is shown all around the school.

She urges Neil to publish his work on the fan fiction website The Rabbit Hole and he soon gains a following.

Julia pushes Neil to attend a special session held by the Rabbit Hole at a comic book convention, Comicpalooza, where they have been invited to come and read their works.

Neil has also struck up a conversation with Denis, a gay fellow reader of his work, who urges him to meet up.
