The power of being true to yourself.

A tender coming-of-age romance about a young man discovering love and authenticity while navigating family obligation and self-discovery in a California beach town.
Forced to give up his dreams of art school, Zach works dead-end jobs to support his sister and her son. Questioning his life, he paints, surfs and hangs out with his best friend, Gabe.
