    When a precocious, home schooled 13 year-old boy is sent to the local, rural school for the first time, it's going to be a whole new thing. For everyone.

    EMERSON THORSEN (Aaron Webber), 13, lives with his parents KAYA (Rebecca Jenkins) and ROG (Robert Joy) in their eco-home in the wilds of Nova Scotia. He's just had his first wet dream, and completed writing and illustrating his first book, all 1000 pages of it. Meanwhile, the home schooled youth can barely add 2 + 2. His mother enrolls him in the local school. There, Emerson's English teacher is DON GRANT (Daniel MacIvor). At 42, the solitary Don has settled into a life of perpetual adolescence, paying regular visits to a park washroom for anonymous sex. In the classroom, Emerson stirs things up. Surprisingly, Don sees a bit of himself reflected in Emerson. Emerson, initially scornful of his teacher, quickly develops his first crush ** on Don. The precociously confident boy, raised in a household of casual nudity and sexual openness, throws himself into this awakening of his heart with dangerous abandon. This is going to be a Whole New Thing. For everyone.
