Moonshot

A recently out college baseball player is given one mission: spy on the competition. But his plan implodes when he meets his target—the rival team's arrogant, bisexual "G.O.A.T." —and realizes he’d much rather date the enemy than defeat him.

Ryan is 19, recently out, and "giving gay Charlie Brown" in the middle of Iowa. He’s a benchwarmer for his college baseball team (a hobby he chose over musical theater, ironically) and secretly dreams of studying Marine Biology, despite being oppressively landlocked. His big break finally comes when the team sends him, the rookie, to spy on their rivals.

The mission immediately implodes when Ryan is caught hiding in the bushes by the target himself: Wes, the rival team’s charismatic, bisexual "G.O.A.T.". An "enemy" rivalry quickly turns into a confusing, late-night connection over Hawaiian pizza, a disastrous on-field kiss reveal, and a series of maddeningly vague "hey" DMs. As Ryan falls for the one guy he's supposed to hate, his eccentric professor offers him a "moonshot" escape: a marine biology internship in Florida.

Now, Ryan's life is a full-blown musical rom-com. He has to navigate his overbearing mom, his best friend Junie (who is busy fending off the team's laundry-obsessed, ex-mascot manager), and his own fears of being "good boring." He must decide whether to stay safe at his Iowa "home base" or risk his heart for a shot at a new life.
