Black bisexual teenager Gio's deepest problem has nothing to do with his sexuality, his dad's drinking, or his friends' drama--no, it has everything to do his birth mom, who left Gio and his family when he was just nine years old. Now, just when he thought his life could get together into something resembling happy, his mom returns, and has the audacity to ask for forgiveness. Now, at the same time as he is trying to decide if he is just friends or something more with new basketball teammate David, Gio must decide what love looks like when it comes to his mother.
