Seventeen-year-old Billy (John Oxenford) has lost his mother to cancer. Living alone with his father (Mark Scalia), a burnt-out manual laborer, Billy finds some solace working in the local pizza joint owned by Roger (Gershon Eigner). But this job, like his father’s, has no future, and with his high school career soon to be over, Billy must decide what he will do with his life. He is bright, and has the potential to complete the college his father never did. But the motivation is not there. Remembering his mother’s talents as a chef may give him a clue to his true passion.
