A dark comedic coming-of-age tale surrounding a cast of familiar characters. The Peanuts gang are all in high school and, with the death of his beloved beagle, C.B finds himself tackling adult topics. As a now-popular jock, he finds himself drawn to a lonely piano-playing outsider. While being typical teenagers, the gang are each grappling with issues of homophobia, mental health, death and the afterlife, alcoholism, identity crisis, and growing apart from the people you loved most. A poignant, funny, gut-punching and uniquely-crafted script that will sit in your soul for years to come.
