No one would say that Steve's life was easy. But then, what teenager's life is? Between his disinterested, dysfunctional-and in his father's case, drunk-parents, his lack of popularity in high school, both with other students and his teachers, he's had enough. Perhaps, he decides, it he changes a few things about himself, things will start going his way. But at what cost?
