Synopsis

A young red-haired boy draws the ire of local bullies because of his unique appearance. To make things worse, he has a crush on one of the girls in the gang that is bullying him, a feeling that appears to be reciprocated. A chance meeting with another boy hatches a strategy that ultimately leads to him standing up for himself in this short about exclusion, empathy, and courage.
