Synopsis

Ryan, Harley and Miles are very different people — the swimmer, the rebel and the nerd. All they've ever had in common is Isaac, their shared best friend. When Isaac dies unexpectedly, the three boys must come to terms with their grief and the impact his death has on each of their lives. In his absence, Ryan, Harley and Miles discover things about one another they never saw before, and realize there may be more tying them together than just Isaac. Told in three distinct sections, one from each boy's point of view, Sidekicks is a story about grief, self-discovery, and learning your own worth — including Ryan's quiet reckoning with his sexuality.
