The eponymous young lad (Jamie Bell) has a bit of a prurient streak - he loves watching people making out in the woods from his treehouse before applying his own, unique, form of contraception! His life at home is a troubled one after his mother committed suicide and "Hallam" certain that his new stepmother (Claire Forlani) was behind the crime. Unable to convince his father (Ciaràn Hinds) he flees to Edinburgh were he falls completely for hotel manager "Kate" (Sophia Myles). He pleads with her to give him a kitchen job and pretty swiftly, thanks to an eerie like vantage point atop the hotel, he is up to his old tricks again. Quickly, he discovers that she is having an affair with a married man (Jamie Sives). It's that man who cottons on to his peccadillo and swiftly "Jenny" becomes aware too. What's next for the disturbed young man? There's something very honest about Bell's performance here. He treads a tightrope between horny young man and one caught up in a traumatic mystery that might be true, or it might all be a figment of his very over-active imagination. The characterisation of the well-meaning "Kate" also works well too as does that of his curmudgeonly kitchen co-worker "Raymond" (Maurice Roëves). The story is a little far-fetched, but it has something of the getting into the mind not a child to it, and I found Bell an engaging actor to watch.
