Ed meets his mother and her new boyfriend and begins to question her. You can tell by the tone of his voice that he doesn't want him there, as most teenagers would feel after a recent divorce. On top of the divorce, there's the pressure of starting at a new school, which gives you that feeling of a big lump in your throat that you just can't seem to get rid of. This begins the turmoil when Ed begins to get bullied simply for being the "new guy". In the trailer, bullies are seen throwing objects at him and hiding in a locker to escape the embarrassment he faces. As part of a school assignment, Ed must speak to an elderly person and gain their wisdom. Unwilling to leave his house in the face of humiliation, he talks to his neighbor Ashby, a former CIA agent, who denies being old and transient.
