Opening in NY, LA, Chicago, San Fran, Seattle, and other cities across the country, beginning October 17th, 2008

Tru, a 16-year-old high school student from San Francisco, is uprooted from her gay-friendly home by her lesbian moms and moved away -- not only from San Fran but also from her gay dads -- to a new, decidedly more conservative neighborhood in suburban Southern California. Her non-traditional family makes her a bit of an outsider -- until high school football hero and BMOC Lodell takes a liking to her.

Traditional boy meets girl love story...or is it?

Lo, as his friends call him, is actually gay and closeted. And in Tru he finds a friend with whom he can really be himself, though still afraid to do the same with his mom, grandmother and closest pals.

When Tru sees and hears the closed-minded comments about homosexuality from her new group of "friends," she takes a bold step: Together with openly gay student Walter she lays the groundwork to start a Gay-Straight Alliance club at her new school. Through the GSA, she meets Trevor, a smart and charming young man -- raised by his gay uncle Daniel -- with whom she becomes smitten.

Will Tru follow her heart and stay true to herself, or will she continue to cover for Lo, who feels he has too much to lose to be true to himself?
