Synopsis

Kelly once played in a punk band. Now, after giving birth to her son and moving into a cozy (boring) suburb, she can't feel comfortable in the role of perfect mom/exemplary wife. Her 17-year-old neighbor Calvin, wheelchair-bound after an accident, also can't get used to his new position. A fleeting conversation between two people forced to spend much more time at home gives rise to a tender friendship in which both find what they lacked. Kelly, once a punk-rocker turned suburban mom, is nostalgic for a life she can no longer have and uncertain of a future into which she doesn't yet fit; 17-year-old Cal is frustrated at his loss of control of his life. The pair's unlikely friendship is the perfect spark needed to thrust them both back into life.
