Hidden Roots

11-yr-old Sonny lives with his mother and father up near the Canadian border. Theirs isn't a peaceful household, given his father Jake's sudden rages, which can turn physical in an instant. Sonny's refuge is his mother, and his uncle Louis, a quiet, wise old man who seems to always appear when Sonny and his mother need help most. Jake hates when Louis comes around, but luckily he works long hours at the nearby paper mill.
