About the Job
Jake, a 10-year-old boy struck by a desire to understand his masculinity in a world of female influences, turns away those he loves for the chance at a male role model. As he chases a version of masculinity shaped by Ray and the boys around him, he begins to lose the gentleness that defines his bond with Jenna. His desire for control and approval isolates him, leaving him caught between the boy he was and the man he's pretending to be.
