We all remember that person from high school. You know, the person who seemed to glide through every aspect of those years—academics, athletics, clubs, social interactions. They were popular and successful but, more significantly, likable. Everyone expected they would do the same after high school. Life, though, has a way of interfering with our plans and expectations. One disappointment can lead to a string of disappointments and failures until every day becomes a struggle. Those circumstances take Robb Cesario from the heights of high school glory to midlife, where a quagmire of quicksand threatens to pull him under. Desperately struggling to maintain family connections amid tragedy and sadness, Robb returns to his roots. He tries to find his way back to the life he and everyone else imagined for him.
