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. By the time night falls, he couldn’t be more unlike the confident, roguish character of the school. Left alone, he is haunted by fragments of traumatic memories from his past. Stan Dean appears, a popular 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?
