Description

Jacob wanted all the privileges of being a man, but not the responsibility that goes with that. Follow the story of a disillusioned young man in his mid-teens without a father, of the trials of a single mother who struggles with understanding the realm of manhood, and of a man who knows how difficult it can be to stay true to himself as a man in today’s world.
