First loves and fist fights. Best friends and break-ups. Nights of elation and mornings of regret. You remember the feeling.
In the summer leading to high school, a bb gun accident ignites a thirteen year-old boy's fascination with his mortality, while propelling him into the orbit of a band of rebellious upperclassmen. As his mother's breakup from an abusive boyfriend forces her to work overtime, his newfound freedom exposes a world that is more complex, more painful, and more human than he's equipped to handle.
It's the chaos that comes once-disillusioned with our idols, connected through our music, consumed hopelessly by love-but leaves an indelible mark. We watch as his idealized past and the visceral pain of his bb wound guide him through feelings of fear, excitement, and everything in between-hoping he finds a better path before it destroys him.
