Chronology
Nate Busco has spent 12 of his 17 years running from the past
Fed up of being moved from one foster home to another, he now lives in his car, eats cornflakes and uses track practice as an opportunity to shower.
Alone, he is haunted by fragments of traumatic memories from his past
When night came, he couldn’t have been more different from the confident, cocky person he was at school.
Enter Stan Dean, a popular high school drama teacher dealing with his own problems
He sees Nate’s latent talent and his need for care and guidance where no other teacher has and sets out to help.
But in a shocking turn of events, Nate is arrested in the middle of the school and led away in handcuffs
Stan follows Nate to the police station and not only arranges for bail, but agrees to take Nate into his own home, despite the raised eyebrows he receives from his fellow teachers.
Stan is willing to do whatever he can to help a student in trouble
But the question is, can you really help someone if you are not ready to help yourself?
