Joshua is gay, and he's okay with it. Really. He never had a problem with his sexuality, but being one of the most famous models in the world doesn't make it easy. Fame always comes with a price; in his case, staying in the closet. While he tries to make a name for himself, he falls in love with his boss' assistant, Lukas, who unfortunately seems to hate his guts. Forced to work together, they start to build an unconventional friendship, but when Joshua makes one fatal mistake, everything falls apart.
Put sex, alcohol and drugs into the combo, and soon enough Joshua finds himself navigating the dark and twisted world of the fashion industry, facing abuse, homophobia and violence, all while dealing with a heartbreak. In the meantime, his ex, Andrew, decides to come back into the picture, stirring the waters even more. Will Joshua fall for him again? Will he find his happily ever after? Or will he fatally lose himself in the darkness of his own mind?
Body, Mind & Heart narrates the cruel reality of closeting and harassment in the entertainment industry, told from the point of view of a teenager who's trying to find his place in the world; a dramatic coming of age story that touches themes like homophobia, sexual harassment, drugs addiction and domestic violence.
