When Gus Shepard's quiet artistic life is upended by his mother's death in 2003, he's sent to the rural town of Livingston, Montana, to live with his estranged woodworking father. For Gus, it's a place filled only with grief, painful childhood memories, and too much sawdust-until he meets Bridger Owens, a local skateboarder with a rebellious streak.

Drawn together by a deal-Gus will build Bridger a handcrafted board in exchange for skateboarding lessons-the two form an unexpected bond, inspiring each other to reach for bigger goals and make the most of their short summer. What starts as friendship soon blossoms into a tender romance they must keep hidden in a town where everyone already knows each other's secrets.

In a town this small, escaping feels impossible.

Being... gay? Unthinkable.

Immediately suspicious, Bridger's jealous skate crew leader, Max Stevens, resents Gus and his growing closeness to his best friend. And the coolest skater girl in Livingston, Tara Shae, senses that Gus, like her, doesn't quite fit the town's mold. As whispers turn into confrontations and family pressures mount, Gus and Bridger's fragile relationship is tested at every turn.

Through late-night swims, daring skate sessions, and moments of breathtaking vulnerability, Scraps paints an unforgettable picture of discovering young queer love in the early 2000s. Will Gus and Bridger risk everything to hold onto what they've found, or will the weight of their separate worlds pull them apart?
