Date and Switch 2014

As the semester winds down, two lifelong friends, Matty (character name) and Michael, make a bold decision to sever ties with their high school sweethearts, Em and Ava. The catalyst for this change is a pact they’ve made to embark on an unconventional sexual adventure with a mature woman, a move that will forever alter the dynamics of their friendship. Meanwhile, Matty takes a momentous step by confessing his long-held secret: he’s gay. This revelation sparks a mixture of emotions within Michael, who struggles to reconcile his friend’s newfound identity with their once-unbreakable bond.

As they navigate this uncharted territory, the friends create a motivational prize for themselves - a delectable pot brownie - to commemorate their conquests before prom night. However, Michael’s euphoria is short-lived, as Matty’s honesty serves as a harsh reminder of his own emotional unpreparedness. The rift between them grows, and it takes Em’s gentle prodding for Michael to realize the importance of supporting his friend through this transformative period.

The friends’ lives become even more complicated when they stumble upon two familiar faces at a gay club - none other than their high school teachers. Outside the club, a chance encounter with Greg, who leaves an indelible mark on Michael’s car, sets off a chain reaction of events that will forever change the trajectory of their relationships.

As the weeks pass, Matty and Michael find themselves at crossroads. Matty joins his band as a vocalist, while Michael attempts to revive his passion for music by auditioning for the same group. In the evenings, the friends let loose at another gay club, where they indulge in drugs and dance under the stars.

Meanwhile, Em’s heart remains tied to Michael, despite his increasing emotional distance. A chance encounter at her home leads to a night of intimacy with Matty, leaving Em torn between her lingering feelings for Michael and her newfound connection with her friend. As Matty and Greg grow closer, Michael becomes increasingly disillusioned, his attempts to rekindle things with Ava ultimately ending in heartbreak.

The friends’ friendship is put to the ultimate test when they converge at a construction site, where they’re forced to confront their own insecurities and the harsh realities of their relationships. The tension boils over as Matty’s relationship with Greg becomes public knowledge, leaving all four feeling awkward and unsure about their future.

In the aftermath of this emotional maelstrom, Matty and Michael embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. A day spent racing go-karts serves as the catalyst for their reconciliation, but not before Michael makes one final attempt to rekindle things with Em - an effort that ultimately falls flat due to her newfound awareness of Matty’s and her own complicated history.

The aftermath of this emotional implosion sees Michael ostracized by his peers, forced to confront the consequences of his actions. In a moment of desperation, he turns to Greg for solace, only to learn that Matty has closed himself off to both of them. As the dust settles on their tumultuous lives, Em serves as a voice of reason, her words echoing through the halls of their high school as Michael struggles to come to terms with his place in this new world.

As the sun-kissed evening of prom descended upon the unsuspecting attendees, Michael made a bold move by bringing Greg as his plus one. Meanwhile, Matty had already secured Em’s affections for the night. The festivities took an unexpected turn when Michael seized the microphone and belted out a tune from his and Matty’s formative fourth-grade play, a nostalgic nod to their lifelong friendship. However, this act of nostalgia was swiftly followed by an onslaught of accusations: whispers began to circulate that Michael was indulging in an unconventional lifestyle, prompting him to shrug off the insinuations with a defiant declaration - namely, that his companion Greg was an exceptional individual who didn’t deserve such speculation.

Following the impromptu apology tour, Michael and Matty retreated to the parking lot, where they confronted the remnants of their earlier pot brownie. Initially intended for disposal, the edible art piece had captured Matty’s imagination, earning his praise as a masterpiece of creativity. The quartet reunited, shared in the psychedelic delight, and soon found themselves too elevated to re-enter the prom. As the night wore on, they made their way to a nearby gay club, where they lost themselves in a kaleidoscope of colors and beats under the watchful eye of Matty, who proudly declared it the most unforgettable day of his life - an evening that would forever be etched in their collective memory as a testament to the transformative power of friendship.
