Tale
Nate Busko has spent 12 of his 17 years running from his past
Tired of being bounced from foster home to foster home, he now lives in his car, eats corn husks, and uses track practice as a shower.
He’s haunted only by fragments of traumatic memories from his past
By nightfall, he couldn’t be more different from the confident and broken persona at school.
Enter Stan Deen, a popular high school drama teacher dealing with his own problems
He sees Nate’s latent talent and need for care and guidance where no other teacher has, and he decides to help.
But in an astonishing turn of events, Nate is arrested in the middle of school and taken away in handcuffs
Stan follows Nate to the police station and not only bails him out, but he also agrees to take Nate into his own home, despite the raised eyebrows he receives from his fellow teachers.
Stan does everything he can to help his troubled student
But the question is, can you really help anyone if you’re not willing to help yourself?
