Ben is a 17 year-old bad boy. He's done it all: skipped school, smoked pot, got arrested, skate boarded nonstop... All because his father announced he was gay and broke up the family. After many encounters of illegal activities in the city, Ben's father decides that the family, Ben, his dad, and Edward, his father's "partner," are all going to move out into the country in Montana. Having spiked hair and dressing like a skater really makes Ben stand out in a hick town. His first day in town he sees the girl of his dreams and falls in love instantaneously. He also notices that his neighbor's son Billy does not seems quite "normal." The 10 year-old kid seems afraid of many things including his father. As Ben attempts to turn his life around, get the girl of his dreams, and find out the truth about the boy next door, he deals with many other issues such as his runaway mother, gay father, and evil Step-grandmother. Will he be able to handle all of the pressure?
