Richard is working at the Help Line his senior year and one night he answers the call that will change his life. On the other end is Shelby who's attempting suicide. The only person on the campus by that name is another senior who is a classical pianist that he's been admiring since freshman year.
With the help of another worker, Richard locates Shelby and gets him to the hospital â€" saving his life. The two find that they have a connection and start dating. A date for pizza, a LGTB mixer and a memorable first time together in a planetarium build a relationship between the two. When it comes time to graduate, will the two be able to stay together or will opportunities pull them apart?
