A volatile and ambitious coming-of-age drama, FLOATING is the story of Van (Reedus), a young man who is left in something of a vacuum when all his friends leave for college and he stays home to care for his disabled, alcoholic father. Angry and confused, Van starts hanging out with a couple of local punks and then meets Doug (Lowe), who appears to have everything Van dreams of. However, Van soon learns that the seemingly perfect Doug has some demons of his own, ones that eerily echo Van`s.
