Set the weekend before Halloween in 2007, Small Town Emo follows the story of Ken, a seventeen year old emo with a crush on his goofy best friend; Fergus.

In the lead up to a costume party, Ken spends the day trying to find the courage to confess his feelings.

Can Ken figure things out, or is he doomed to have depressing song lyrics as his Messenger status ‘til the end of time?
