In the heart of 1990 New York City, amidst the buzz of opportunity and the shadow of uncertainty, two young men's lives are about to intertwine in ways they never imagined.

Seventeen-year-old film fanatic Adam can't believe his luck when he's asked out on his first date by the captivating Callum. As their connection deepens, Adam feels like he's living the cinematic romance he's always dreamed of. But when Callum suddenly disappears, Adam's world is turned upside down. Determined to find answers, he embarks on a journey that leads him to unexpected truths.

Meanwhile, eighteen-year-old Ben has just arrived in the city, escaping a home where his true self was a secret too heavy to bear. Hoping for acceptance, he embraces the vibrant streets of New York, only to discover that freedom comes with its own challenges. When reality hits harder than he anticipated, Ben begins to question if the city is the refuge he hoped it would be.

Fate brings Adam and Ben together near a hospital door, where shared heartaches become the foundation of an unbreakable bond. As they navigate love, loss, and the complexities of identity, they find solace in each other and the understanding that sometimes the person who sees you most clearly is the one who's been searching for the same thing all along.

"When You Call My Name" is a moving tribute to the resilience of youth, the power of unexpected friendships, and the journey toward embracing one's true self. Will Adam and Ben find the strength to face their fears and the courage to love openly in a world that doesn't always understand?
