Synopsis: Johnathan is a nine-year-old boy who loves sea monsters, and his 300 lb. pet pig, named Wee Wee. Unlike most kids, Johnathan has nystagmus, which makes his eyes "flutter." He also suffers from severe narrow angle glaucoma; an acute condition that if untreated can lead to permanent blindness. JoLynn cares for Johnathan alone while her singer/songwriter husband David travels in search of his big break. To treat Johnathan, she grows hydroponic marijuana to relieve the painful intraocular pressure Glaucoma causes. She cooks the marijuana into brownies and feeds them to him in secret. David's parents, Mark and Linda, live nearby and provide for JoLynn and Johnathan as best they can on a fixed income. Linda is highly critical of JoLynn's ability to raise Johnathan. During her son's absence, Johnathan has become more undisciplined than Linda would like. While Mark tries to keep the peace, he is torn between his wife and their daughter-in-law, who he loves deeply. When JoLynn discovers that Li

that's trying to make something

out of himself for you.

Must be nice.

David asked you to call

and check on me, didn't he?

He leaves me for two months

with nothing but a letter,

but he calls you?

You don't got no phone.

Well, I'm not the one that

racked up a $500 phone bill,

booking a tour

all over kingdom come either.

I'm just trying to help.

Chill out.

Help? You just helped me

lose everything I had.

You think I wanted to drag

your lame ass out of the house?

Then why did you?

You never come over

unless you want something.

Maybe I just don't want

to see you end up like Mom.

You really think I'm gonna

drink myself to death

- because a man left me?

- I don't know what you'd do.

You've always been

the depressed, serious type.

Maybe if you relaxed for once,

you could find someone better.

- More coffee?

- Yeah, fill 'er up.

She likes it black.

Get a new wig, b*tch.

Kiss my ass!

Ow. Stupid thing.

Come on!

Hey!

Go, Wee Wee!

Go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

Woo-hoo!

I'm so sorry.

I will talk to Johnathan

in the morning.

No. No.

No, this time you're

gonna do something.

What do you want me to do?

You let her run all over you,

and now her boy too.

Why don't you do something?

They're your family too.

All right, I will.

- Good.

- I will take care of this.

What the hell?

Johnathan!

Wee Wee, what are you

doing in here?

Oh, my God.

Johnathan!

Johnathan!

What the hell, Johnathan?

What did you do to my plants?

I wanted to make brownies.

Are you an idiot?

Why would you do that?

- That's your medicine!

- I don't know.

It's a gonna take me months

to grow 'em back!

F***!

Can I come in?

I'm sorry I yelled at you.

I'm sorry, Mama.

I don't know why I did it.

You did it 'cause you're a kid.

I keep asking you to be

a man for me, but...

you just need to be a kid.

I miss Dad.

Me too.

You'll never leave me, will you?

I will never leave you.

I love you.

I will always, always love you.

No matter what.

No matter what you become and...

no matter if you grow up

and do bad things.

I will love you

more than God does.

- Sheriff Cole, you're back.

- I'm sorry, JoLynn.

How come with all

the deputies you got,

you come see me personally?

Could you step outside, please?

I'm fine right here, thank you.

Well, I need to know

where your pig is.

How come you asking?

Well, your neighbor

down the hill here,

they pressed charges

this morning.

My neighbor?

That's my husband's parents.

I understand that, JoLynn, but

I have to issue you a citation

for trespassing and vandalism

perpetrated by your pet pig.

I know.

Come on.

I'm also gonna need to know

the whereabouts of your pig,

currently.

Well, you're looking at her.
