Summary:
After the older brother Lucas idolizes dies suddenly, Lucas's mom leaves--and his dad is struggling to cope. Lucas is pretty much alone, except for the motley group of kids in his school's aftercare program. In between games of Sardines, a reverse hide-and-seek, the kids start talking, and it turns out each group member has something they desperately want. Lucas knows what he wants more than anything, but he isn't sure if he can trust the group with his family's secrets.
