Synopsis and Starring
Synopsis: In small-town British Columbia, awkward teen Mike Drinkwater has trouble fitting in. Hank, his offbeat father, spends more time living in his own delusional world than paying attention to his son. Mike’s lack of direction takes a turn when he meets the new girl, Wallace. Over Mike’s final semester, Wallace helps him train for an annual cross-country race while Mike guides Wallace through an unfamiliar Canadian experience.
