Story
Will Freeman is a charming but self-centred man who dodges commitment at every turn. His world shifts when he befriends Marcus, a socially awkward 12-year-old boy. As Will tries to help Marcus navigate school and social life, an unexpected friendship develops that challenges both of them. Through their unlikely bond, Will discovers that growing up isn't just about age, and Marcus learns valuable lessons about fitting in and being himself.
