Jeffrey (Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie) has been cancer-free for over five years, but that doesn't mean life is perfect. Sonnenblick explores the emotional and physical aftermath of childhood cancer with a sensitive but light touch, offering thought-provoking details but keeping the action anchored in family dynamics, first-girlfriend drama, and best friend Tad's irascible, tell-it-like-it-is personality.
