Floating (1997)

“One tragedy destroyed his life. Another one saved it.”

Already suffering fiscal and emotional bankruptcy after a car crash shatters his life, young Van finds himself in a vacuum when his buddies go off to college and he stays behind to look after his disabled, alcoholic father. Lacking an outlet for his rage, Van starts to run with two local punks and drifts into a life of crime. Then he meets Doug, who seems to have everything Van desires ... but Doug has demons of his own.
