Maxed Out
Twelve-year-old Max is under too much pressure. More than anything, twelve-year-old Max wants to play hockey like he used to. But since the death of his dad, his mom does more crying than mothering, and Max has to take his special-needs brother, Duncan, with him everywhere he goes. Will he find a way to be a good teammate, a good brother and a good son, or is it too much for one kid?
