Twelve-year-old Milton Adams finds his entire world in crisis as his parents stress out about their careers, finances, and the sinking sensation that their middle-class lives aren’t “enough.” Additionally, he’s under attack by the neighborhood bully, and his anxiety is getting worse by the day. But when he finds a kindred spirit in his optimistic grandfather (played by Donald Sutherland), Milton’s pain and uncertainty gradually give way to a deeper understanding of true happiness, which cannot be compromised by life’s changing circumstances. As Milton learns to live in the now, he impacts everyone around him.
