Thomas Peaceful is a young boy who is bullied a lot at school, but lucky for him he has an older brother named Charlie who always has his back. One day Thomas (Tommo) meets the love of his life, Molly. Unfortunately Molly is more for guys her age (Charlie). After years of being in Charlie's shadow, Tommo decides to join Charlie when he must join the army to help his village. By this time Molly is pregnant and Charlie is the father. They are receiving letters from their mom, brother Big Joe, and Molly, saying she must live with the Peacefuls due to her pregnancy.
