Plot

15-year-old Kirk Mead (Toby Fisher) is a typical fun-loving child, living in Auckland, New Zealand. He likes to hang out with his friend Ronnie (Elliot O'Donnell) and is in a relationship with Tory (Nicola Cliff). One day, he is shockingly diagnosed with cancer. At the hospital, he meets ex-streetkid Marty (Nikki Si'ulepa), who seems to be the exact opposite of him.
