Being a teenager in the 1980s and 2010s has many contrasts. Despite growing up differently, Harvey and Lasher want the same thing. They don't want to become their dads. Two teens figure out how to navigate the absence of a home sweet home.
Growing up in the 80s, Harvey wants to be a published author and for his dad to be a better parent. But when his dad dies in a car crash, he's forced to drop out of high school to help his mom take care of his younger brother. As he misses more and more opportunities, the rage he inherited from his father keeps growing. When he experiences one more life-altering incident, he snaps. The effects ripple through his entire family.
Being a teen in the 2010s, Lasher wants to live a normal life with his dad. A life that doesn't involve late-night shouting, a gambling addiction, or hurting himself to silence his anxiety about the future. When his dad makes a decision that puts both Lasher and his friend at risk, Lasher struggles with the idea that his dad doesn't care about him at all and the ramifications of wanting to handle everything on his own.
When home is the hardest place to be, two teens grapple with not having a normal life, but working towards a better one.
