Line of Events
Nate Busco 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 cornflakes, and uses track practice as a shower.
Alone, he’s haunted by fragments of traumatic memories from his past
When night falls, he couldn’t be more different from the confident, cocky persona 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 nurturing and guidance where no other teacher will, and sets out to help.
But in a stunning turn of events, Nate is arrested in the middle of school and led away in handcuffs
Stan follows Nate to the police station and not only arranges for his release on bail, but agrees to take Nate to his own home, despite the raised eyebrows he receives from his fellow teachers.
Stan is willing to do whatever he can to help the student in trouble
But the question is, can you really help someone if you’re not willing to help yourself?
