synopsis
Jules is a refreshingly level-headed fifteen-year old who lives with his grandparents in the country because his parents have careers that require them to travel a great deal. He enjoys fishing with his grandfather, and the local kids are just fine with him. Whenever his mother appears on the scene, he is especially happy, but the same can't be said when his business-obsessed father shows up. When his grandparents can no longer afford their country life, they move to a small town nearby, and Jules goes with them. On the whole, he manages pretty well, though the new kids are not a particularly nice bunch. He is particularly fortunate in being initiated into sex with the help of an attractive gal by the name of Sophie.
