Soccer amid family change

Mark Conway is living with his grandparents while his divorcing parents dispute where he will live. At school, he has become an important part of the soccer team and appears to be managing the upheaval. The question raised by the premise is whether that outward adjustment reflects how he is really coping. Family separation and belonging on a school team provide the story’s central points of tension.
