Two boys with radically different backgrounds and family have one very important fact in common...their fathers left at an early age. He Forgot to Say Goodbye is the story of the friendship that evolves from empathy and sorrow. Jake, a rich, "OH-WOW-WEST-END" kid and Ram, a resident of "DIZZY LAND" meet at the Circle K when Jake comes to buy cigarettes. Gradually, they seem to connect through common interests and eventually find out that both have been left by uncaring fathers.
A life-long friendship is in the works as Jake and Ram, along with a no-nonsense, heart-of-gold girl named Alejandra strike a bargain, although silently, to be there for each other, no matter where life takes each of them.
