Using over 12 years of footage spanning through their adolescence, Bing Liu discovers connections between two of his skateboarder friends' volatile upbringings and the complexities of modern-day masculinity. He captures 23-year-old Zack’s tumultuous relationship with his girlfriend deteriorate after the birth of their son and 17-year-old Keire struggling with his racial identity as he faces new responsibilities following the death of his father. While navigating a difficult relationship between his camera and his friends, Bing arrives to a point where he must shift his role as a narrator to that of a protagonist.
