Synopsis
In the months after his father's suicide, it's been tough for 16-year-old Aaron to find happiness. With the support of his girlfriend Genevieve he's slowly remembering what that feels like. When Genevieve leaves for a couple of weeks, Aaron spends his time with this new guy, Thomas. Aaron can't deny the happiness Thomas brings, despite the tensions their friendship is stirring with his friends. Since Aaron can't turn off his newfound feelings for Thomas, he considers turning to the Leteo Institute's revolutionary memory-alteration procedure, even if it means forgetting who he truly is.
