Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Gay high schooler Timothy receives confusing signals from his rugby player crush. In the way of their love: a homophobic rugby team. But when the rugby team is all cast in the school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, supporting Timothy as the lead, Timothy discovers magic in the pages that allows him to make people fall in love with others of the same sex - and the town is never the same.
