Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Jack, 19, Lisa, 17, and Mathis, 10, abruptly become orphans. Each sibling reacts differently to the family tragedy: Lisa spreads her wings. Jack, having just become of age is appointed as his brother’s guardian by court decision. A new life begins. But how does someone just barely out of adolescence himself become responsible for a child? And how does one construct a future when the past has become a dangerous obsession? Fortunately, youth’s strength and energy can work miracles…

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
