What Happens After

Collin and his best friend, Nate, are high school juniors living in a suburb of Houston, where the politically and culturally conservative attitude makes coming out beyond difficult. One night they decide it would be a bit of harmless fun to sneak into a gay club in the city-a chance to dance, check out guys, and meet others like themselves. They couldn''t be more wrong. In minutes everything Collin took for granted is destroyed when a shooter''s bullets tear through the club. Collin survives, but that''s only the start of his ordeal. In the aftermath he has to face the loss of his friend, survivor''s guilt, the pain of his wounds, and judgment when he''s outed on a national level. Making it through his last year of school feels impossible when life as he knew it will never be the same.
