The Hardest Word

Benny is twenty-five, recently single, and desperate to escape his closed-minded small town. His anonymous, masked TikTok account is finally taking off, and moving to Manchester offers a fresh start: queer housemates, new work opportunities, a deepening connection with his trans BFF, and even a professional mentor.


But praise and popularity become entangled with pressure and manipulation, and Benny crosses a line he can't uncross. One that will cost him everything, including the people he cares about most.


A queer rebirth story, for the era of algorithms and rage bait.
