Hesher

T.J. is a freshman at high school. His mother died in a car crash two months prior to T.J.’s death. T.J. takes pills, and his father sits down on the couch. T.J.’s grandmother keeps things together by talking and cooking. T.J. is determined to get the car from the wreckage yard, where his bully son lives. Hesher, an insolent squatter and foul-mouthed, moved in to T.J.’s home. T.J. meets Nicole, who is a near-poor grocery clerk. Nicole also helps T.J. once. Hesher has T.J. involved in a crime, his mom is losing her car, father is out of town, T.J. is watching Nicole at work and T.J. invites Nicole to come along for her morning walk. The odds are good that T.J. will be able to build a family that can help him succeed. —
