Plot
Nate Busko has spent 12 of his 17 years running from his past
Tired of being bounced around from foster home to foster home, he now lives in his car, eating corn husks and using track practice as a chance to shower.
Alone, he is haunted by fragments of traumatic memories from his past
When night falls, he couldn’t be more different from the confident, cocky persona he once was at school.
Enter Stan Deen, a popular high school drama teacher dealing with his own issues
He sees Nate’s latent talent and the need for care and guidance that no other teacher has seen, and sets out to help.
But in a surprising turn of events, Nate is arrested in the middle of school and led away in handcuffs
Stan follows Nate to the police station and not only arranges bail, but agrees to take Nate into his own home, despite the raised eyebrows he receives from his fellow teachers.
Stan is prepared to do whatever he can to help his troubled student
But the question is: can anyone really be helped if you are not willing to help yourself?
