The year is 1979, and Stewart is a neglected 14-year-old living with his overworked divorced mother in a run-down apartment. He struggles in school, avoiding bullies and cliques, and finds solace in his friendship with Peter, the new kid in town. But as their bond deepens, they enter a world of darkness, turning this Gen X coming-of-age story on its head.
