Two high school-age brothers appear inseparable outwardly, with Jack always looking out for his younger sibling, Lou. This is a difficult time in life for both, and one small crisis will test the foundation upon which their mutual trust is positioned, ostensibly determining whether it be laid upon bedrock - or sand. A work of short crime from our Fingerprints line.
