Starting out in a new school is never easy, but even more difficult for Jonah, the fat gay Aboriginal kid who has never had a real friendship group, and who is choked with grief over the death of his mother. His father has finally gathered himself together and moved Jonah and his younger twin brothers to a new home in the town of Patience, closer to old friends and family. Jonah takes tentative steps to overcome the ‘New Kid’ label in school by starting a conversation with the edgy girl with purple hair, and signing up for the football team to be closer to Harley the athletic guy he has a crush on.
