  • "John Devine is an introverted, watchful, adolescent boy. He's stuck in a small town, worried over by his single mother - the chain-smoking, bible-quoting Lily - and the gregarious but sinister Mrs Nagle. He yearns for escape. When the charismatic Jamey Corboy arrives in town, John's life suddenly fills with possibilities - welcome and otherwise - and as he hides from the reality of his mother's ever-worsening health, he is faced with a terrible dilemma."
