- Donald is 14 years old, he likes to draw comics and he wishes he had a girlfriend. None of this is unusual, but Donald has one problem that sets him apart from his peers - he has leukemia, and after going through several rounds of chemotherapy, no one is sure if he'll grow to adulthood. As his parents try to make sense of their son's anger and mood swings, Donald often retreats into a fantasy world he's created in his drawings where he's a strong, muscular superhero with a beautiful female sidekick who helps him battle an all-powerful villain, The Glove.
