Summary
Simon has lived in the same small town his entire life. He dreams of one day escaping to the city and playing his mother's guitar for anyone who will listen, just like they'd always planned before she died. He works all day at the local corner store so that he can save up the money to leave, only taking breaks to play at the local shelter.
Baz hates this town. He misses his life before the accident, when he was attending Columbia University and studying literature, but he doesn't think he'll ever get back to the way things were. He spends his days tending to what was once his grandfather's farm, trying desperately to make ends meet so that he can support himself and his father, who has been catatonic since the funeral. The only things that bring him joy these days are showers, long drives to clear his head, and listening to the beautiful boy at the shelter sing.
