The unexpected death of a promising and popular high school senior fractures his family, most unexpectedly his younger brother, who has trouble coping with the loss until he meets some of his brother's friends and learns more about his secret life.

Younger brother Nick (Booboo Stewart), who has Asperger's syndrome, struggles to cope and understand after the death of his brother Chaz (Harry Shum Jr.). His parents are in denial about several things, and are not communicating or dealing well with the loss, but then Chaz's best friend, Randy, decides to become a mentor to Nick. Written by TrivWhiz

First viewed on NetFlix. As a grumpy old man, I found the film a bit sophomoric, manipulative, and predictable. If the intent was to appeal to high school age youth, it probably succeeded. The producers should be applauded for their exploration of Asperger Syndrome -- and for a new twist to a gay-coming-out-story. In the end, I decided that the film had sufficient redeeming qualities for it to be purchased for my private collection. (Better than some that were recommended and purchased without preview.)
