Ken Larsen

Uptight New York City executive, Michael Cromwell, pursues his soon-to-be ex-wife to South America and returns home with the son he never knew he had—a boy raised in a tribal village in Brazil. Armed with only his blowgun, the 13-year-old Mimi-Siku discovers that the world outside his jungle home is indeed a strange place.

Troels is in 7th grade. Around him, sexuality sprouts. Boys are becoming men, but Troels and his only friend, Nicky, are not a part of it. However, the two outsiders will soon discover that the sense of community can be found in the small, and when they least expect it.
