Country Boy Love

In the small town of Hickory, North Carolina, some secrets are too dangerous to tell.
Hunter Lawson and Beau Callahan have been inseparable since childhood—fishing creeks, working summer jobs, growing up side by side. Somewhere along the way, friendship turned into something deeper. Something they can’t let anyone see.

In a place where Sunday church is expected and “settling down with a nice girl” is the only script, Hunter and Beau steal what moments they can in cornfields and empty barns, hiding their love from families and neighbors who would never understand.

When a photo of them kissing at the Fourth of July celebration spreads through town, their secret shatters. Faced with family backlash and the judgment of an entire community, they must decide: keep hiding or fight to love each other openly.
