Noah (16) became a father far too young with a girl he had been with. Due to the enormous responsibility thrust upon him, he left the young mother to her own devices. But when she left their infant son on Noah's doorstep and runs off by herself, the responsibility comes back like a boomerang. Because of his resistance, his fear of being a father and the conflicts it creates with his mother and youth services, Noah chooses to bring back his infant son. The search for his ex turns out to be much longer than Noah ever expected. It takes him to places he never imagined while the search becomes a journey into himself and fatherhood.
