The second season is set in the Midwest, representative of the canvas that is America, at two high schools, one public and one private. Issues of sexual orientation and socioeconomic disparity come to a boil when lurid photos of a high school boy, Taylor Blaine, are posted on social media following a school party. Taylor accuses two players on a private high school's basketball team. While the two schools at the center of the story are worlds apart in status, the lives of the students and teachers at both become inextricably linked.
