What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Casey recruits Peter as a pretend boyfriend to convince Zack that he has moved on, while the resulting deception fuels the romantic confusion.
Benji proposes opening his relationship with Zack for the weekend, making consent, insecurity, and sexual freedom central sources of conflict.

The all-male resort, gay couples, hookups, and competing attractions create a distinctly lgbtq+ social environment.
