Plot
Nate Busco has spent 12 of his 17 years running. Fed up with being bounced from foster home to foster home, he now lives in his car, eats corn husks, and uses his track workouts as an opportunity to shower. By nightfall, he’s indistinguishable from the confident, swaggering person at school. Alone, he’s haunted by fragments of traumatic memories from his past. Enter Stan Deen, a popular high school drama teacher struggling with his own problems. He sees Nate’s latent talent and need for care and guidance where no other teacher has, and sets out to help. But in a stunning 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 to his home, despite the raised eyebrows he receives from his fellow teachers. Stan is ready to help his troubled student. But the question is, can you really help someone if you are not willing to help yourself?
