Drama queen Alexa (Emmy Rossum) and gay geek Ben (Ashley Springer) are best buddies, but their friendship is put to the test when the mysterious and handsome Johnny (Zach Gilford) is cast as the lead in their high-school production of A Streetcar Named Desire. Johnny, who is seemingly attracted to them both, becomes ever more confused as to who he really wants. As sexual tensions reach boiling point, Johnny's sexual identity becomes unhinged, leaving Alexa and Ben to face up to their desires and accept that it takes more than just a truth, a dare, and a threesome, to get what you really want from life.
