Billy the Kid

Billy a 15-year-old outsider growing up small-town Maine. Billy appears, in many ways, like other teenage boys. He's into heavy metal and martial arts, is desperate to find a girlfriend, and aspires to a career as an actor and rock star. Yet in other ways Billy is unigue. A troubled past and ongoing behavioral issues have left him marked. But he is unapologetic about this personality and refuses to be victimized, creating this own techniques to help him survive in an environment of pain, conformity, and prejudice. Billy is funny, sharp, strangely wise for his age, and remarkably candid. We witness life from perspective from intimate conversations with his mother, to being bullied at school, to his fantasies of becoming a superhero.
