This is the story of two guys in high school, one very much a loner and the other was popular, but not great with social skills. After a misunderstanding, they part ways. Some years later, they never say exactly how many years, they meet up again by chance. However, the loner has had a complete make-over and the other guy doesn't recognize him at all. They start dating and the loner feels that will be his chance for revenge for what happened in high school, but along the way he falls in love with the other guy. Then the night of the high school reunion arrives and the truth comes out. I won't give away what happens, but it was a good story and worth watching. I do feel that things might have gone a little differently if they had talked a bit more, but that's just my take on it.
