On the first day of Grade 9, two boys, complete opposites, meet for the first time. One is outgoing and full of hope, the other a lone wolf who rarely gets close to others. They somehow form a bond they think is unbreakable. As the years go by they grow closer, to the point they see each other as brothers. But in their senior year of high school, fate decides to make them part ways. We follow one of the boys through his journey of self discovery and healing from losing the friend he never wanted to lose.

Ain't No Way This Is Real is based on the author's friendship with his best friend from high school. We see through the lens of his personal experiences the difficult journey of healing when close friendships come to an end.
