Ellis is fourteen. His parents have split up – Mom's gone New Age in Tucson with some asshole abstract artist; and Dad – Fucker Frank, is sporting nerdy glasses and retailing Mexican knick-knacks to Washington wannabes. Ellis is about to start at a squaresville boarding-school. It's your standard dysfunctional family thing… Except that Ellis has been hitting the bong since he was eleven, has a goat-man for a guru, and a weed-wisdom beyond his years. Goats is an extra-mellow coming-of-age tale – quirky, touching and very funny. It's about growing up and getting your shit together.
