Intro. After a meltdown at his last school triggered by sensory overload, 18-year-old Calvin Morse has quietly transferred to Davenport High for his final year. Diagnosed with high-functioning autism, Calvin doesn’t talk much. He doesn’t join clubs, doesn’t eat lunch with anyone, and avoids eye contact. Most students write him off as the weird new kid—detached, cold, obsessed with spiders. And maybe he is.
But beneath that, there’s more: a mind that sees the world in patterns, a heart that’s just as capable of feeling (even if it doesn’t show it), and a quiet resilience shaped by years of being misunderstood.
Now, seated alone by the window with his notebook full of anatomical spider sketches and noise-canceling earbuds always in place, Calvin is just trying to get through the year. He’s not looking for friends. Definitely not romance.
But sometimes, the right person doesn’t ask for an invitation. They just sit down.
And sometimes, that’s all it takes to start something.
