A popular thirteen year old boy is suspended from school after posting an ill-advised and incendiary cartoon, which involves the Principal of his Middle School, on social media.
This flair-up of adolescent impulsivity becomes a full-out catastrophe as the stakes get higher and the boy's parents stumble from punishing their son to protecting him, dogged by doubt in their own judgement, stung by social shaming, and boxed in by fear of recrimination from the powers that be.
The story progresses as an opinion survey, against the backdrop of zero tolerance policy faced by American youth in a society steered by the power structure.
