In the small coastal town of Sellwood, Mitch Mueller, the resident high school bully, and Jonas Wagner, the quiet nerd, find themselves unwilling partners in a science project. While trespassing on a mysterious government facility, Mitch and Jonas expose themselves to a chemical spill that gives them extraordinary superpowers. Mitch discovers the ability of telekinesis, while Jonas is able to manipulate blades of light that fluctuate based on his emotions. As they learn to control their new powers, they find solace in each other amongst their shared struggles with abusive parents and buried childhood traumas.

As Mitch and Jonas’s connection deepens, the line between friendship and something else begins to blur. They find themselves falling in love despite the government’s relentless pursuit of the young men, and their troubled pasts threatening to tear the two apart. Long Exposure is a queer coming-of-age story about the complexities of “good” and “bad” people, and the power of love and compassion.
