Synopsis: A coming-of-age tale about the perils of adolescence, set against the stark industrial backdrop of old-downtown Atlanta. Our hero, Magellan, is a scrawny compulsive liar and the outcast of 7th grade. He lives with his moody father in an old factory smokestack that's been renovated to loft space and painted a garish aquamarine. Rather than get ridiculed when the bus drops him off at this monstrosity, Magellan chooses to walk to and from middle school with a beautiful and popular African-American girl in the same grade. Though Tiana would never be caught dead hanging out with Magellan at school, they develop an unlikely friendship during their daily communte.
