SYNOPSIS
"Almost There" chronicles the life of Theo, a mentally disabled young man grappling with the prejudices and derision of his small-town community. Katherine, a fiercely independent girl with a bright future, befriends and defends him against local bullies, particularly against the intimidating figure of Jake.
