In The Green, Michael (Jason Butler Harner) and Daniel (Cheyenne Jackson) have moved to a small town to escape the big city. Michael is a teacher trying to help Jason (Chris Bert), a struggling student, but the status of “teacher’s pet” proves even more stressful for the high schooler since his teacher is gay. When Micheal is falsely accused of an inappropriate relationship with the student, the small town jumps to conclusions and Michael and Daniel find their lives destroyed and their relationship on the rocks.
