Plot

[edit]

Jack is a 15-year-old boy going through puberty. When his parents Anne and Paul divorce, his world starts to fall apart. While on a fishing trip with his father, Jack learns that Paul is in a live-in relationship with a man. The youth is bullied at school when other students find out about this.

Jack's best friend Max also has problems, because his mother is being beaten by his father. Jack has a crush on another friend, Maggie, and learns that her father is also gay. By the end, Jack matures and learns to accept his family and friends, and more importantly, himself.
