Tuck Sinn

Tom Sawyer has grown up into a high schooler. So far, he's lived a peaceful life in his small town.
He is dating Becky Thatcher- his childhood sweetheart- and their relationship, of course, has its ups and downs. They've been through everything, together, so why not keep that going?

Eventually, though, Tom realizes how unhappy he is. And his thoughts keep on being brought to his past.
To Huckleberry Finn- his oldest friend who has been travelling for years- who is probably never coming back.
Tom's sadness magnifies and he starts pulling away from his lifelong friends.

And then Huck comes back to town.
And he's different than before; Huck is smarter and quieter and taller, but Tom can still see that in some ways- in the good ways- he's the same boy Tom's always known.

And Tom starts to wonder what's really his best path in life- the one planned from the start, comfortable and safe and happy, or the one that will make him see freedom, no matter if his heart breaks?
