"Tommy" is the story of a young boy who is struggling to understand life, truth and love. From his earliest memories, his was a childhood of disorder and fear that was manifested by a distant, cold mother consumed with her own failures and shortcomings and a long-gone father whom he has never known.
Feeling lost and confused in a life of chaos and anxiety, eight-year-old Tommy Walker is desperate for answers to help free him from the mounting burden of his past and present circumstances and give him a much-deserved better life. And although friends are few and far between, Tommy is able to form some important, albeit atypical, relationships with the people who come into his life.
Woven together, these people help him discover what love really is and lead him to a degree of clarity, a sense of understanding and a bit of peace within himself.
