Noah, an art student on a scholarship, has been in a relationship with Mason, the star of the school team, for three years, and has always regarded Mason as his savior. After Emma, who grew up with Mason, returns from abroad, Mason kisses her at a party and publicly humiliates Noah. Adrian, Noah's roommate who has had a crush on him for three years, deliberately lets Noah catch the betrayal, and takes the opportunity to push him to leave Mason. When a fire breaks out suddenly at a lakeside gathering, Mason carries the slightly injured Emma away, leaving Noah, who is pinned under a wooden beam in the water, trapped in the burning scene; Adrian risks his life to rescue Noah, and stays by his side all night as his boyfriend. Noah finally breaks up with Mason, and gradually falls in love with Adrian amid their forbidden tug-of-war. The remorseful Mason first pesters Noah, then drugs him, which instead pushes Noah completely into Adrian's arms. When the two are intimate, Noah discovers from the old scars on Adrian's body that it was Adrian who really saved him three years ago, while Mason had known Noah had the wrong person but still took the credit. After the drugging and lies are exposed, Mason loses his student status, his spot on the school team and his love, and can only watch as Noah chooses Adrian.
