The Wright family has always been the picture-perfect Christian family. A hard-working father, a sweet and loving mother, and their beautiful smart daughter.
But cracks begin to show when their little girl wants to be called Robin and be referred to as a boy. He longs for adventure, to learn how to be a man, and to be the kid he is deep down.
While his father, Richard, accepts him, his mother doesn’t and blames Richard for confusing their child. As their marriage is shattering and Robin grows ill, Richard drastically decides to grab his son and run away.
As the two go off in hopes of escaping his mother and the laws that now hunt Robin, Richard must not only protect his son and keep him happy, but also have to face the truth about his marriage and his perception of the world they live in.
But if it’s all for Robin, it’s worth it.
