Set in 70's small town America JJ & the Big Bend is the story of a ten-year-old JJ. Bullied and miss-understood, life for JJ has become an emotional roller coaster. Hating School and unhappy at home, things would be unbearable if it were not for Toby, a pet dog of questionable pedigree and Grandpa Joe, who is JJ's guiding light in a dark world.
