Eli is a cynic; he detests the laws of friendship, and loathes his never changing neighbourhood. With his only friend San, Eli lives in a constant sense of familiarity and routine. That is, until a blue eyed boy appears in the grey school halls, with a gleaming smile, a dirty mouth, and a fleeting sense of the unknown. Eli embarks on a path of self-exploitation, a sense of identity, and the concept of love.
