They always seem to know how to act and being charming and cool is effortless for them. Meanwhile curious contemplative and comically awkward Benjamin who relies on his razor-sharp wit and books to help him navigate the world remains completely clueless. It was only a few weeks ago that Benjamins ineptitude cost him everything. On a day that was expected to be perfect everything ended with his dad dying on his drive home to deal with the mess Benjamin had created. After Benjamin suffers a mental breakdown and attempts suicide his mom packs up the family. She moves them to her upstate childhood hometown of Lima a suffocatingly small town with a complicated history and an uncertain future-a future unbeknownst to Benjamin that is tied to him by lineage and circumstance.

With Benjamins guilt bearing down around him as he haplessly relives the day of his fathers death and the lengths to which Theo will go to achieve his dreams becoming increasingly dire-and illegal-the boys strive to overcome their challenges together. Will Ben and Theo persevere as the consequences of their choices threaten to overwhelm them or will their actions lead them on a collision course with disaster?
