High school student Tommy (Daniel Flaherty) is bullied by Matt (Kenton Duty). He's laughed at by all the kids. He lives with his Gran (Mary Beth Peil) and works at her pizzeria. He overhears the landlord wanting to level the whole block around the pizzeria but Gran would have the first right to buy. He decides to enter a cooking contest to save the place. Meanwhile, Matt is facing suspension and even expulsion for the bullying. He is given a special deal to be an anti-bullying advocate. He is convinced to assist Tommy in his contest and then sabotage it by his brother Kyle although Kyle has reasons of his own. Kyle is part of the property deal to level the pizzeria. Tommy has a crush on Sarah O'Malley (Katherine McNamara).
The production is limited indie. There are some solid actors in the cast. Aside from the minor roles played by amateurs, the main cast is experienced. While I appreciate the attempted story, the writing is ragged and there are some badly written turns. The dialogue and the flow need a few more passes. Mostly, the directing is amateurish. Anthony Joseph Giunta doesn't have much experience and it shows on the screen. It's a fair debut effort but it does not inspire confidence in future endeavors.
