Synopsis
The story of 12 year old Simon and his 10 year old autistic brother, Jake. Jake loves comic books and can draw exact scaled drawings of buildings after seeing them for only a minute. Yet he cannot tie his shoelaces or read. He also has frequent meltdowns. Simons often feels embarrassed by Jake’s odd behaviour and is resentful of the time and attention his mother gives him.
