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 and uses track practice as a chance to shower. As night falls, he couldn’t be more different from the confident, resourceful person at school. Alone, he’s haunted by fragments of traumatic memories from his past. Enter Stan Deen, a popular high school drama teacher dealing with his own problems. He sees Nate’s hidden talent and need for nurturing and guidance where no other teacher will, and sets out to help. But in a surprising turn of events, Nate is arrested in the middle of school and marched away in handcuffs. Stan follows Nate to the police station and not only arranges bail, but agrees to take Nate into his own home, despite raised eyebrows from 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 don’t want to help yourself?
