When Ollie Williams got kicked out for coming out as non-binary, they thought their life couldn't get any worse. Then they learned that to become the debate team captain, they would have to debate their crush and argue that non-binary identities don't exist. As Ollie navigates debate team politics, treacherous Dungeons and Dragons campaigns, and falling in love, they must figure out who, exactly, they are. When the dice don't roll exactly how you wanted, you don't know where you're going to end up. All you can do is keep debating the dice.
