Story
Nate Busco has spent 12 of his 17 years in the past. Exhausted by moving from one foster home to another, he now lives in his car, eating corn on the cob and using race practice as an opportunity to shower. When night falls, he can’t help but be different from the confident persona at school. Alone, he is haunted by traumatic memories from his past. Enter Stan Dean, a popular high school drama teacher who is dealing with his own problems. He sees Nate’s hidden talent and his need for care and guidance that no other teacher has, and sets out to help. But in an initial incident, Nate is arrested and paraded in handcuffs on the way to school. Stan follows Nate to the police station and not only arranges bail, but also agrees to take Nate to his own home, despite the raised eyebrows of his fellow teachers. Stan is ready to do whatever he can to help his troubled student. But the question is, can you really help someone if you’re not willing to help yourself?
