Nate Busco spent 12 of his 17 years running away from the past
Tired of being bounced from one foster home to another, he now lives in his car, eats corn husks, and uses running training as an opportunity to shower.
Left alone, he is haunted by fragments of traumatic memories from his past
By the time night falls, he couldn’t be more unlike the confident, roguish character of the school.
Stan Dean appears, a popular high school drama teacher who is dealing with his own problems
He sees Nate’s hidden talent and need for care and guidance where no other teacher can, and goes to help.
But as a result of a shocking event, Nate is arrested in the middle of the school and brought in handcuffs
Stan follows Nate to the police station and not only arranges bail, but agrees to take Nate home, despite the surprise of his fellow teachers.
Stan is willing to do whatever it takes to help his troubled student
But the question is, can you really help someone if you are not ready to help yourself?
