DANIEL, Intelligent and creative Daniel lives with his demanding father and
absent mother. His unsually high intelligence has given the Daniel rare
oppurtunity to attend school but his intecllect is trumped by his even bigger
imagination. So rather then focusing on books Daniel spends his time drawing and
developing his own wild stories. This doesnt go over well with his working class
father. Daniel's life seemed laid out by his father until the unexpected meeting
of a new friend named Jin. Jin's junk yard excursions and technological genius
introduce Daniel to new worlds. Going from emotional and potentially violent
extremes of anger to the pits of melancholy Daniel seems drawn to the sadness in
Ariana.
