Like an Icelandic Skins, Jitters captures the excitement and trauma of a group of teens as they enter young adulthood, all orbiting around the resonant story of the gay romance blossoming between the uptight teen Gabriel and free-spirited Marcus. Becoming friends whilst studying in Manchester, things change on their last night together when they share an unexpected kiss. However, the romance is quickly curtailed when they go their separate ways upon returning home. Slowly family and friends notice a change in handsome Gabriel, who realises he is gay but decides to keep it a secret. He has little time to mope, for between parties and excursions, his friends have their own set of problems. And when Marcus returns to the scene, Gabriel is forced make some very significant decisions. This is a multi-layered tale of kids becoming adults and not really knowing what they are doing, having to deal with issues of personal and sexual identity, belonging and independence.
