Directed by Felix Thompson, and starring Charlie Plummer, Cory Nichols, Danny Flaherty, Christian Madsen and Erin Davie, the story centers on 15 year-old Jack who is navigating summer school, romance and a clash with a neighborhood bully, only for things to get even more complicated with the arrival of his younger cousin Ben.
