Nate Busko has spent 12 of his 17 years running from his past
Fed up with being bounced from foster home to foster home, he now lives in his car, eats corn husks for dinner, and showers during athletic training.
Only fragments of traumatic memories from his past haunt him
When night falls, he couldn’t be more different from the confident and arrogant persona at school.
Enter Stan Deen, the popular high school drama teacher, who is facing his own problems
He sees Nate’s latent talent and needs attention and guidance that no other teacher has seen, and he wants to help.
But in a shocking turn of events, Nate is arrested in the middle of school and taken away in handcuffs
Stan follows Nate to the police station and not only bails him out, but he also agrees to take Nate into his own home, despite the raised eyebrows he receives from his fellow teachers.
Stan does everything he can to help his troubled student
But the question is: can you really help someone if they’re not willing to help themselves?
