KOBB

Six year old Jack has a birth defect. He doesn't know what it means. All he wants is to grow up and feel normal. Shrouded in secrecy, his parents relocate their family to drought-blighted, rural Nebraska. There Jack meets his grandfather, a mysterious man who only visits at night and never stays long. As Jack grows up, his one real friend is Millie, the granddaughter of a neighbor who only visits in the summer. Like all boys before him, Jack has to figure out the adult world, but this time the adults are as uncertain as he is. Their world is changing, and everyone is trying to figure out a way forward. Then on his sixteenth birthday, the past catches up with Jack's family, and he must make decisions that will set the course for the rest of his life. An environmental narrative of ordinary people hoping to live normal lives without dystopian drama. KOBB offers a new way forward for the environmental debate that illustrates how explosions can distract us from the insidious but important changes that, unchecked, will alter life as we know it ... and that men have more at risk than they realize.
