Jack (Anton Yelchin, Taken)—a fifteen-year-old high school student—believes he has a fairly typical life. He has a best friend in Max (Giacomo Baessato, Dreamcatcher), a new girlfriend in Maggie (Britt Irvin, Taken), a mother Anne (Emmy winner Stockard Channing, The West Wing) whom he loves and trusts, and a father Paul (Emmy nominee Ron Silver, Ali) whom he sees as his own personal Superman. When Jack’s father moves out and his mother withdraws, he’s left to wonder what went wrong. Believing his son old enough to understand, Paul finally levels with him. He has fallen in love with a man. They’ve moved in together, and they’re building a new life. But for young Jack, life is just not that simple.
