Drama
**Keep It Steady**

Seventeen-year-old Zach is not a moral crusader. He’s a snarky, well-liked stoner who attends detention about as often as Algebra. Unfortunately, he’s also a closeted bisexual in 2005, in a town where even the potheads are conservatives. When school firebrand Gabe suggests they pretend to date in order to take the heat off two female students who are actually in love, Zach knows it’s the worst idea he’s ever heard. Then he does it anyway.
