After the loss of his wife, BILL PALET (Simmons) and his 17-year-old son WES move out of their small town into the big city in an attempt to have a fresh start.

Don't avoid your emotions

This movie is a perfect example of how it's important to talk it out with your closed ones to let them know your feelings before it gets too late. While Bill gets professional help to cope with his wife's death, Wes keeps avoiding his emotions. Their encounter brings both of them to a place where they are hit with realization of their current positions. It's a wonderful movie that shows the relationship of a father and son who make attempts to help each other by giving guidance to each other in their desired field.
