fter a series of hard knocks,

15-year-old Charley Thompson

(Charlie Plummer) and his

single father, Ray (Travis Fimmel),

move to a new city for a fresh start.

the table and to attend the same

school for more than one year. But Ray

soon descends into personal turmoil,

forcing Charley to find work. He takes

a summer job caring for an ageing
