STOCK BURTON (Noah Reid) is a local legend. A monumental event from his past has frozen him, sent his family into a tailspin and pitted his small town against him. Now heÂ’s simply chosen to drop out of life and Â‘retireÂ’, joining his recently separated grandfather, HAROLD, (Jack Daniel Wells) at the Golden Seasons seniorÂ’s home, where life is safe, comfortable and worry free with three delicious meals a day. But after two years of crokinole playing, pill-popping and blissful denial of his problems, Stock is forced to return to reality. Outside the safety of Golden Seasons, StockÂ’s past quickly catches up with him, and he knows he must finally face DAHLIA (Meghan Heffern), the person who suffered most from StockÂ’s past mistake. With the help of PATTI, (Melanie Leishman) a cute girl with a criminal record who recognizes all the good in him, Stock starts to muster the strength he needs to finally make things right. Along the way he must learn to look life in the eye, accept its imperfections, and re-open his heart for a chance to move on.

I like a lot of this

Stock Burton (Noah Reid) has been spending most days in the last two years visiting and doing stuff around his grandfather's retirement home. He is hiding from something and somebody. He is jolted out of his comfort zone by the new dance instructor Patti (Melanie Leishman) doing her community service.

I like Dahlia's bitterness. I like Patti's adorableness. I like Stock's well-earned patheticness. You're more paralyzed than she is. That is just a great line. I like that Patti already knows the story which suggests that everybody knows. I like a lot of this. Maybe the movie should start with a second of the crash and the crash needs to be staged better. It does struggle to incorporate some of the lighter elements and all the elderly characters. I really love the cathartic climax. Despite some unevenness, I like this more than any of its difficulties.
