Parents wait on the sidewalk in New York City for their kids to return from summer camp. One man stands alone, and leans against a sign. When the bus arrives, the kids bound off the bus and greet their parents enthusiastically, and show them the crafts that they made over the summer. The lone man's son is one of the last off the bus. The man pats the boy's head and then they begin to walk home, cutting through the park. The father asks if the boy made any crafts, and his son answers no, which pleases the father, though the boy hides something in his shirt. They talk a little about camp, and stop on a bench in the park. The boy says that he was still bullied. The father is a little upset because, although the boy didn't snitch, he didn't fight back, either. The father says that the boy can stay in the city next summer, and that he'll have the woman he's staying with, who doesn't like kids, stay with her parents. The father tells his son that he needs to get to him to his mother's because the boy's stepfather is throwing a party for one of his sons. The father gets up and starts to walk. His son lingers behind a little. He then takes out a baby turtle with the name of the camp written on its back. He tells the turtle that at camp, he doesn't have a family. and that he satisfactorily nearly drowned another boy there. The boy lets the turtle go and follows his father.
