A trio of troubled suburbanites attempts to come to grips with the personal issues that surface following the tragic death of one of their own in this introspective adolescent
drama from
L.I.E. screenwriter/director (
Michael Cuesta). In the months following the death of
Jacob's (
Conor Donovan) likeable, athletic twin brother,
Rudy (also
Donovan),
Jacob and friends
Malee (
Zoe Weizenbaum) and
Leonard (
Jesse Camacho) struggle to make sense of the unfortunate youth's fiery demise at the hands of local bullies. As
Jacob quickly loses himself to revenge fantasies and sets into motion a series of destructive plans designed to destroy the kids responsible for his brother's death,
Malee focuses her attention on a dejected patient of her psychotherapist mother, and obese
Leonard struggles about weight and health issues with his equally obese mother.
