Sam is sixteen and a skater. Just so there are no terrible misunderstandings skating - skateboarding. There`s no ice. Life is ticking along nicely for Sam; his Mum`s got rid of her rubbish boyfriend, he`s thinking about college and he`s met someone. Then a little accident happens. One with big consequences for someone just finding his way in life. Sam can`t run (let alone skate) away from this one. He`s a boy facing a man`s problems and the question is - has he got what it takes to confront them?
