Nate Busko has spent 12 of his 17 years running from his past
Fed up of being bounced from foster home to foster home, he now lives in his car, eats corn husks and uses track practice as an opportunity for a shower.
Alone, he’s haunted by fragments of traumatic memories from his past
By nightfall, he couldn’t be more different from the confident, commanding schoolboy.
Enter Stan Deen, a popular high school drama teacher dealing with his own problems
He sees Nate’s latent talent and need for nurturing and guidance where no other teacher has, and he sets out to help.
But in a stunning turn of events, Nate is arrested in the middle of school and taken away in handcuffs
Stan tracks Nate down 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’re not willing to help yourself?
