Despite dissimilarities, two middle-school boys from one-child households (Jake and Tony) form a natural friendship when Jake moves with family into his recently deceased grandfather's Brooklyn apartment above the dress shop business of Tony's mother. Extrovert Tony plays soccer, desires to become an actor (like Jake's father) and is sociable, while introvert Jake likes to draw, build his portfolio and be somewhat reclusive. Their best friend status is challenged by Jake's parents inheriting ownership of the building where Tony's mother runs her dress business, asking for three times the rent she previously paid within the upscaling neighborhood. The boys retaliate with silence, but it will likely not be enough. —statmanjeffbest friendfather son relationshipgentrificationevictionteenage boy with a ponytail122 morePlot summaryAdd synopsisTaglinesBe on each other's side.GenreDramaMotion Picture Rating (MPAA)Rated PG for thematic elements, smoking and some languageParents guide
