Plot

The film tells the story of a gay college student, Charlie, a lovable but naive young man trying to navigate the New York City dating scene with its endless online encounters, strange chats and cute freshman boys. He loves classic movies and yearns to meet "the one" in a kind of old-fashioned Hollywood fantasy. But he also wants a real connection with someone, not just dating apps and casual sex. Still hurting from his first relationship with a Mormon boy in high school, Charlie first falls for a guy who's already in a relationship and just wants sex, and then for a closeted freshman who soon decides he's not ready to come out. He also falls for his best friend, who loves him but just wants to stay friends. Eventually he begins to fear that his sexuality is actually preventing him from finding the love of his life.
