Thomas should be shipping off to boot camp in the morning, but after his older brother returned from war a "blank wall," Thomas wants to run away. While Thomas ruminates, he and friend Mallory pull an all-nighter revisiting childhood landmarks. Their nostalgia for their shared childhood becomes a tender counterpoint to their anxieties about growing up. A thoughtful, penetrating family drama.
