Teenage Dream

Synopsis

CJ has created a fake reality in his head where he is in love with the most popular jock in school, Freddie. As suddenly as the pair have fallen in love CJ is dragged into his depressing reality, he gets bullied for his sexuality and Freddie doesn’t even know he exists. Living in his fantasy, CJ is missing out on the reality of the high school experience, he only has one friend and spends his free time watching 90s teen romcoms. With the unwanted help of his best friend, Jen, CJ is forced to come to terms with his sexuality and accept that reality can be better than living in a fantasy.
