Synopsis
When King of high school and all-around-party animal Nikau is outed, we witness his social downfall, from cool guy to complete outcast. Forced to find a new group of friends, each of whom has been ‘othered’ by smalltown New Zealand, he finds escape in a whole new world of possibilities: the internet. Nikau and his group of freakish friends must navigate the complicated world of high school (and the online world) in the pursuit of love, friendship, independence, and the confidence to be their true selves.

Note from the artistic direction
In 2005, deep in the heart of New Zealand, Nikau discovers his sexuality at the dawn of social media. In this arena, screenwriter Victoria Boult plays with the codes of teen films and creates a universe full of fantasy and unflinching humor to question social and gender norms.
