For as long as they can remember, Aaron and Oliver have only had each other. In a small town with few queer teenagers, let along young trans men, they've shared milestones like coming out as trans, buying the right binders -- and falling for each other. But just as their relationship has started to blossom, Aaron moves away. Feeling adrift, separated from the one person who understands them, they seek solace in digging deep into the annals of America's past. When they discover the story of two Revolutionary War soldiers who they believe to have trans men in love, the two are inspired to pay tribute to them by adopting their names -- Aaron and Oliver. As they read more, Aaron and Oliver delve further into unwritten queer stories, and in doing so discover the transformative power of reclaiming one's place in history.

Two seventeen-year-old trans boys in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, struggling to understand themselves and their love for each other, are inspired by an online story about trans soldiers who fell in love during the American Revolution.
