Jake Taylor (Randy Wayne) is a good-natured 16 year old all-star athlete who seems to have everything going for him. Despite trouble at home, he is self-assured and has found comfort in the insular world of American high school life from the perspective of being “the popular kid.” Bound by his place in the high school caste system, Jake grows apart from his childhood friend Roger (Robert Bailey, Jr.), who doesn’t fit in.
