Inhaltsangabe

Teenage Nick Pope - born with prominent birthmarks around his eyes and bullied because of them - quits his therapist and starts writing and drawing in his diary again.

When Nick is offered a solo gallery show of his art, he's forced to face internal and familial demons. Does Nick have the courage to draw self-portraits? Will his family stay together, even though his sister gets a job with the doomed Michael Dukakis campaign and his father refuses to show money-making films at his single-screen theater? And more immediately for Nick, are his feelings for fellow artist Max real - and does that mean he's gay?

Tracy Chapman, Jean Michel-Basquiat and The Last Temptation of Christ all play a part as Nick makes his way through the life-changing summer of 1988.
