15 year old Oliver sees himself as something of a cool child prodigy, when in fact, he might be smart but he's also a loner. Oliver's mother Jill is thinking of leaving her husband for a new age mystic called Graham as her relationship grows closer to him day by day whilst his father seems to be falling into a deeper depression.
Oliver's current homelife leads him to the decision that the most important goals for him to fulfil in his fifteenth year of life are: 1) somehow devise a way to keep his parents together and 2) loose his virginity with the girl of his dreams.
