SYNOPSIS: Griffin Nafly is the most ambitious playwright of his generation. He’s also fourteen-years-old, still living with his parents in the bland suburb of Whitewood. But when Griffin forms a surprise summer friendship with moody twenty-five-year-old handyman Brad, his life (and play) will never be the same.
