School is a zoo, and ATLAS (14) is trying to survive it like everybody else, but it doesn’t help that his best friend Elliot has moved across the globe. Atlas survives with his ironic humor, fun imagination and critical thinking, but constantly battles with his sensitive and insecure inner thoughts. And how does one know, when you are in love?
