When Gus Shepard's shy artistic life is upended by his mother's death in 2003, he's sent to the rural town of Livingston, Montana to live with his estranged woodworking father. For Gus, it's a place filled with grief, forgotten childhood memories, and too much sawdust -until he meets Bridger Owens, a local skateboarder with a rebellious streak.Drawn together by a deal for Gus to build Bridger a handcrafted board in exchange for skate lessons, the two boys form an unexpected bond. The boys inspire each other to both reach for bigger goals and make the most of their short summer. What starts as friendship soon blossoms into something deeper, a tender romance they must keep hidden in a town where everyone already knows your secrets. But in a town this small, escaping feels impossible. Being... Gay? Unthinkable. Bridger's Jealous skate crew leader Max Stevens is suspicious of Gus and his growing closeness to his best friend. And the coolest skatergirl in town, Tara Shae, senses that Gus, like her, doesn't quite fit the town's mold. As whispers turn into confrontations and family pressures mount, Gus and Bridger's fragile relationship is tested at every turn. Through late-night swims, daring skate sessions, and moments of breathtaking vulnerability, Scraps paints an unforgettable picture of discovering young queer love in the early 2000s. Will Gus and Bridger risk everything to hold onto what they've found, or will the weight of their separate worlds pull them apart?
