The film is set at the fictional Ocean High School in Hua Hin . Nam is the star of the school's “Water Boyy” swimming club and the son of the trainer. One day Meuk from Bangkok joined the group as a new member and from then on shared a room with Nam. Nam has a difficult relationship with his father, as he lives with the much younger Karn, an internet star. At the birthday party of Talay, Nam's little brother, Meuk experiences an argument between Nam and his father for the first time.

Due to the tension and the sometimes hostile attitude of Nams towards him, Meuk surprisingly decides to return to Bangkok. Nam then urges him to stay with him. The rest of the swimming club, including Nam's father, suspect more of the relationship between the two boys, but Meuk declares he has a girlfriend and Nam is slightly homophobic , especially in connection with his father . Nevertheless, both are getting closer and closer.

Finally, Nam and Meuk are selected to represent their school for the Super League competition in Chiang Mai . There they meet the actress Nune, whose fan is Nam, but who turns out to be Meuk's friend. After a successful competition, the three of them go to a party, with Meuk jealously watching Nam and Nune seem to get closer. When he then asks Nam about it, however, the latter kisses him instead of giving an answer.

Now the affection between the boys is not hidden. After a trip together, she follows them to Hua Hin and moves in with them, much to Meuk's chagrin, who treats them more and more repellent. Nam becomes more and more aggressive in this situation, which is reinforced by the sexual advances of the younger Nine. After Nam's father comes to the hospital after a traffic accident, Nune claims to be Nam's girlfriend in front of him, whereupon Meuk breaks up with her and moves back to Bangkok.

When Nam travels to Bangkok after him, they just miss each other due to an intrigue of Nunes. Meanwhile, Karn has left Nam's father and Nam is moving back home from his apartment, where he is finally reconciled with his father. As a result, the boys miss each other again when Meuk returns to Hua Hin in search of Nam.

Three months later, Meuks begins his first semester at the university. There in the dormitory he unexpectedly meets Nam, with whom he apparently now shares an apartment again, and the two embrace.

Background and production
