Dude and The Boys
After years of repetition, every day has become the same for Dude and The Boys: work, build things, eat pies and drink beers. It’s Dude and The Boys forever: they’re the rulers of their coastal town, with Dude at the helm. But tonight, something is different – Dude is different.
When Dude discovers that he has a secret urge he can’t control, The Boys’ simple paradise begins to unravel. Can the friendship group really stay together through anything, or will Dude’s secret be one thing duct tape and loyalty can’t fix? And what’s more important, after all: blending in, or following your heart?
