One more year. That’s all Gunnar has to wait until graduation. More importantly, it’s one more year until he’ll feel safe to come out.

Gunnar has kept his sexuality a secret — only his twin sister knows he’s gay. Coming out now would make him the target of homophobic bullies at his school. But a year is a long time, especially when life starts moving at its own pace, and Gunnar meets guys he wants to date.

Set in rural Alberta, Under the Radar is the uplifting story of a teen who dreams of a life in which he can be himself.

What do you do when the one thing that you love more than anything else gets taken away from you? Kids throw tantrums, adults fight. Not Gunnar – Gunnar adapts!

Gunnar is the typical run-of-the-mill teen, eagerly anticipating the arrival of graduation so he can leave his small town (with its nosey neighbors) and live his life the way he chooses – far away from prying eyes. He has no plans for college and no definite plans for his future, but he also knows he doesn’t want to stay home – farming is definitely not for him.
