High-school seniors Jay and Max, brothers only eleven months apart, live in Minnesota with their Bribri mother and physically abusive father. They try to keep their mother from being alone with him, believing their presence reduces the danger. Both are in counseling after attacking their cousin’s boyfriend when they thought he was threatening her. When their father is arrested, their close bond begins to strain. Jay remains focused on protecting family, while Max prepares an art-school portfolio, dates Melody, and imagines a different future.
