| Summary |
A series about a loving family facing the problems we all face--growing up and growing old, fitting in and finding our way--may not at first glance seem like a TV breakthrough. But look again. The second child in the family, Corky, has Downs Syndrome. The first season follows the entire family as 18-year-old Corky enters high school as a freshman, knowing that he may find friends, but that he may also find classmates who will never see beyond his disability. |
