When she stays with her grandpa, he's hiding cigarettes and at the climax decides to confront him.

Sunny's character arc shows her covering for her older brother as he skips school, drinks, and smokes. ![]() For instance, Sunny's brother is rebelling against adults so he thinks the adult swim at the pool is stupid. ![]() This support of the character arcs is weak.

Sunny shows up at her grandpa's in a retirement village where the people are gray-haired, slow-moving (with a grumpy old man), and rules to keep kids out of their retirement village unless they have a visitor pass. Her original plans to spend the summer with her best friend at a cabin are cast aside as the family seeks much needed help.
