Ethan Walker portrays Ren McCormack who is at loose ends – yep. He is footloose. He and his mom have moved from exciting Chicago to “Bomont” in the middle of nowhere USA when his father abandons the family. Ren and his mom, Ethel, are forced to move to Bomont, as his mom’s sister and her husband have offered them a place to live. Walker is wondrous as the out-of-place Ren. He can sing. He can dance. He can act. He creates excitement wherever he goes.
