Through a strange series of encounters, a delinquent high schooler and upright university student find love. *****
No longer interested in clubbing, kissing girls, and committing petty crimes, 18-year-old Riley is trying to find meaning in his dull...
Eran continued with aikido. But for Jamee, after basketball was soccer, after soccer was football, after football was hockey. Then suddenly, it all stopped. Jamee was 13 when he found a new crowd.

Eran and his parents sat at the dinner table. Jamee's whereabouts were vaguely known.
The parents exchanged looks.
His mother started, "Eran, do you know where Jamee is?"
"No." Eran's answer was short; his mother should know he and Jamee rarely exchanged words.
"He's been skipping classes too. Last week he started a fight."
These were things Eran didn't know, wasn't surprised by, and wasn't concerned with.
His dad now spoke, "We're at work, so we want you, as Jamee's older brother, to look out for him. Encourage him to do the right thing and to straighten up. If he's planning on doing anything dangerous, tell us. We know you two aren't best buds, but you need to watch out for your little brother. Okay?"
Eran barely nodded. "Yes, sir."

At first, Eran tried taking away the cigarettes he found in Jamee's room. He threatened to report Jamee's every action to their parents. In an attempt to prevent a grounded Jamee from sneaking around, Eran even locked Jamee out of the house if he disappeared after school.
Still, Jamee never listened to Eran and continued to act disrespectfully and recklessly.
