Everyone has their demons, but Jake can never reveal his. Alongside his best friends he navigates through puberty, playing pool, watching porn and getting drunk. While his group has girls on their minds at all times, Jake retreats, only half-heartedly attempting to lose his virginity, and appease his friends. Jake’s interests increasingly point in a different direction, one which he can never admit.
