When Travis Buck becomes famous for playing golden boy Jackson Pryce in the TV hit Palisades, the role begins to consume him. Off screen, he hides trauma, addiction, and a secret relationship with his best friend, Will Schluter — while his co-star Ken “Kendo” Dolan lures him deeper into self-destruction. As Travis’s real life mirrors Jackson’s unraveling, fame, love, and control collide. Forced into isolation to survive, he must decide whether to keep performing the perfect life everyone expects — or risk everything to be real.
Travisty is a story about identity, survival, and the cost of being seen.

The task is far beyond their expertise, but to earn a living on the road, risk often becomes a matter of routine.

Shaun’s an outsider. He has a dark past and an even darker habit of cutting himself. The only thing he’s got going for him is his guitar and a head full of lyrics.

But that’s going to be a problem for Shaun because he's finding himself hopelessly attracted to Jesse’s undeniable charm. Being gay isn’t brutal and Shaun has an image to uphold if he’s ever got a shot at becoming the death metal God he knows he’s destined to become.
