CGiii Comment

A teenage boy struggles to find acceptance and love within the confines of the repressive catholic school he attends and from his mother who is emotionally cold and completely lacks any understanding or compassion for her son. He reaches out to his estranged sister and even his best friend hoping to find the love and acceptance he so desperately needs which eventually leads him to a harrowing outcome.
