Barry is aggressive, abusive and the most prejudiced individual Skylar has ever met.
Following their dad's premature death, Skylar had hoped that their mum would find a new boyfriend, but she couldn't have chosen a worse man: it has been clear to Skylar from the beginning that Barry will not accept them for who they are.
Skylar already struggles to fight against their own depression, but now that Barry is in their life to stay, they face the possibility of alienating themself from their one remaining parent. The best hope Skylar has of overcoming both obstacles is the support from their love life, but it would be impossible to reason with Barry if he knew the nature of the relationship…
The tension and uncertainty increase with each day the issue goes unresolved. Skylar will have to face Barry eventually, but how can they do that, and what will be the consequences?
They certainly won't be doing it alone.
