In the Diner follows Rayne, a rigid, routine-driven college student who basks in familiarity and consistency. From a safe distance, he watches the world spin around him, full of strangers he aims to merely understand but never know. Rayne was comfortable in his stagnant world of cement and silence until a tornado of a person breezed into his favorite diner. This tornado smiled at Rayne and sat with him and asked him questions he had never been asked before, pulling the curtain he tried to hide behind back and revealing Rayne to a world he thought he wanted nothing to do with, a world he thought he wasn't allowed to be a part of. This tornado, Roman, was everything Rayne hated. He hated Roman because he couldn't understand him and his presence in Rayne's life was changing things.Together Roman and Rayne challenge their feelings of loneliness, numbness, and anxiety, while working together to discover new forms of vulnerability and intimacy.
