Chronology

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 for dinner, and takes advantage of gym practice to shower.

Alone, he’s haunted by fragments of traumatic memories from his past

When night falls, he couldn’t be more different from the school’s cocky and arrogant personality.

Enter Stan Dean, a popular high school drama teacher struggling with his own problems

He sees Nate’s hidden talent and his need for attention and guidance that no other teacher has seen, and he sets out to help.

But in a shocking development, Nate is arrested in the middle of school and led 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 the raised eyebrows he receives from his fellow teachers.

Stan is willing to do whatever he can to help his troubled student

But the question is: can you really help someone if they’re not willing to help themselves?
