In Were the World Mine, Timothy is a gay teen living in a conservative town. He frequently gets bullied at school and finds solace in his love for musical theater. When his drama teacher casts him as Puck in their production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Timothy becomes fascinated by the play's themes of love and enchantment.
As Timothy rehearses his role, he discovers a recipe for the love-potion used in the play's plot. With the help of his best friend and fellow theater geek, Max, Timothy brews the potion and tests it out on the town's residents.
At first, Timothy uses the potion to make his crush, Jonathan, fall in love with him. However, as the effects of the potion spread throughout the town, Timothy realizes that he has the power to change the world around him. He uses the potion to promote acceptance and understanding within his community, ultimately bringing people together in a celebration of love.
Along the way, Were the World Mine features several musical numbers that blend classical compositions with contemporary pop and rock arrangements. The film also explores themes of identity, acceptance, and the transformative power of art.
