Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison and a father who is closed off because he served in the Vietnam war. He meets Dante, an optimistic know-it-all who has a unique view of the world, who teaches Ari how to swim. They start to develop a friendship, the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. Through this friendship both Ari and Dante help each other learn about themselves and grow into the people they were always meant to be.
