Mirror Boy

16-year-old Jason Rofeor has been locked out of his house, naked, again-by his mother. Mirror Boy is a coming-of-age story of a young man desperately seeking a father figure-having lost his own father to divorce years before-while living with his emotionally unstable mother and her revolving door of unsavory men. Minutes become hours of blemish-hunting in front of their sole rusty-edged bathroom mirror, where a compulsion evolves into full blown dissociative fantasy, involving the conjuring of a solid male role model into his life. After his long-idealized dermatologist, physician-scientist Dr. Milton Greenblatt begins to mentor his highly driven and eager new protégé, it emerges he has secrets of his own; and as Jason settles more deeply into the intelligence of his unconscious mind, he self-protectively begins to question the doctor and other men he has implicitly trusted.
