It's the last term of primary school and Liam is bored with the same faces, places and lunches—even basketball. When a new student named Clint arrives, things become much more interesting. Soon, Liam is taking risks and bending the rules and even has a haircut just like Clint. Liam's mates are acting weird, though. And Mum keeps asking if he's OK. His teacher even has 'a word' with him. Liam wishes they would leave him alone and let him grow up. He's going to high school next year! But when Liam finds himself in serious trouble, he realises how far he's drifted from the things and the people he loves. But just like a game of basketball that's heading south, can he bring it back?
