Fifteen-year-old Neil Shafer is a nerd in high school whose secret passion is writing slash – amateur fiction that imagines erotic relationships between the two male characters of various TV and film series. His specialty is the book and film series Vanguard. Neil is greatly embarrassed when another student snatches the exercise book that contains his writings, and it is shown all around the school. It is picked up by Julia Jordan, who thinks it is hers. Neil and Julia discover a common interest in writing slash and quickly become best friends.
She urges Neil to publish his work on the fan fiction website The Rabbit Hole and he soon gains a following. At the same time, Neil is not sure about his own sexuality and whether he is gay or attracted to Julia. Julia pushes Neil to attend a special session held by the Rabbit Hole at a comic book convention, Comicpalooza, where they have been invited to come and read their works. Neil has also struck up a conversation with Denis, a gay fellow reader of his work, who urges him to meet up. Neil lies and says that he is eighteen years old to gain entry, but this causes problems when the truth is found out.
