Fifteen-year-old Max has an unhappy home life. No matter how hard he tries he can't seem to help his troubled mother. He feels like a failure as a son, that he can't do anything right. It is only on Noonan's Pond, skating across the cold, hard ice, under the moon and the stars, that he is able to find some measure of peace and serenity.
One especially difficult night he meets another boy at the Pond, who says his name is Baby, and he seems to know everything about Max and his mother. Baby helps Max make it through the pain and confusion with his mother and proves to be always there when Max truly needs him. It takes Max a lifetime to learn who Baby really is, but by then, with Baby's help, he understands the importance of friendship, love and forgiveness and that ultimately you can't fix others. You can only fix yourself.
