Wimps Like Me

0/5 ( ratings)

Meet Cole Hanson, a sensitive boy hemmed in by a thick forest, and ragged history. Cole lives in Scotia, California, a place filled with grizzled loggers, wiry fishermen, two-fingered sawyers and more than its share of bullies. He does his best to avoid pain and confrontation at all costs, but it's not easy. Scotia's a town where cowards are despised and physical toughness reigns supreme. With the help of his friends Wally and Raymond, and his kind yet-troubled step-father Ernie, Cole struggles over the rocky ground of adolescence in his difficult journey toward manhood. Wimps Like Me is a nostalgia-tinged, bittersweet and sometimes humorous story, filled with revelations about childhood, the comradeship of best friends and the loss of innocence. It's a full color portrait of a child's life in the 1950's blue-collar world of the Pacific Northwest that's sure to elicit memories and emotion.
