Synopsis
Oliver's parents have announced they are getting divorced. Overnight, what seemed like a relatively stable, predictable existence turns upside down. As he struggles to navigate the changes in his family—and his life—he's sent(enced) to Homework Help.

Even if their families are falling apart, with a little help from each other, can they keep themselves together?
