    • Synopsis
    • A group of young BMX riders are confronted with the unexpected and violent death of Jonas, one of their friends. Fifteen-year-old Jesse was the only one to witness the incident and the others look to him for answers. His companions’ attitudes and his inability to answer their questions gradually isolate Jesse, as he copes with grief for the loss of his best friend and a growing sense of loneliness.
