In the present, artist Tom Warshaw recalls his traumatic coming of age. As a 13-year-old growing up in New York City in 1973, Tom hangs out with Pappass, a mentally disabled man. With Tom's mother battling depression after the death of her husband, the young boy is left to his own devices. When Tom develops a crush on schoolmate Melissa, Pappass feels abandoned and begins behaving erratically.

Tom navigates the messy intersection of childhood loneliness and the heavy weight of his mother's grief in 1970s New York. This bittersweet look at formative connections finds unexpected warmth through a boy's bond with a local eccentric.
