Taming 7

Gerard "Gibsie" Gibson is the life of the party at Tommen College, a cheeky, lovable class clown who can turn any situation into a punchline. But the "happy-go-lucky" persona is a carefully constructed shield. Beneath the jokes, Gibsie is a boy haunted by a traumatic past, using humor as a desperate lifeline to keep his demons at bay. He’s spent years making sure the world only sees the comedian, never the cracks in his foundation.

There is only one person who sees through the act: Claire Biggs.

Claire is the quintessential sunshine girl, a constant beam of light who has spent her entire life adoring the boy across the street. As his best friend's little sister, she’s had a front-row seat to the real Gerard, the one who doesn't need a script or a laugh. Claire is determined to be the anchor for her wild-at-heart childhood friend, but her feelings have long since evolved into something deeper than mere loyalty.

When the storm clouds finally roll in and a sudden shift in their dynamic crosses the line from friendship to something far more intense, their shared history is put to the ultimate test. As the masks fall away and the gravity of Gibsie’s past threatens to pull them both under, they must decide if their bond is strong enough to weather the riptide, or if getting serious will be the one thing that finally breaks them.
