Lunch time! But there is some tension in the cafeteria: Jackson struggles to find a place to sit and Michael starts arguing with his friend, Scott. The two are interrupted by a shout in the distance...
Jackson Reevers is a terribly unlucky boy. Fatherless, he lives for years with his alcoholic mother and abusive stepfather, trying to protect himself and his little brother, Sam. One clear April evening, Jackson kills his stepfather in an attempt to save his little brother from yet another attack. He spends four years in reformatory and then returns to his small town, where everyone knows and everyone knows what he did. On the first day of school he reunites with his lifelong best friend, Michael Jones. The two together will undertake a journey to reintegrate the boy into society, amidst difficulties, prejudices, hidden obstacles and profound truths.
