They share the same birth month, so the orphanage calls them the December Boys. But these teens – Maps, Spit, Spark and Misty – have much more in common. With no hopes of ever joining a family, they form their own familial bonds. Then the unexpected news comes that a young couple may adopt one of them, and the longtime pals suddenly share something else: a rivalry to be the chosen one. DECEMBER BOYS, a poignant memoir of friendship and family, marks Daniel Radcliffe’s first major film role outside the Harry Potter series. He plays Maps, a big brother to the group as it stumbles and wavers on its way toward manhood. Join the boys for their remarkable journey of the heart called growing up.
