Nate Busco has spent 12 of his 17 years running since 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 by fragments of traumatic memories from his own past

When night falls, he couldn’t be more different from the school’s confident, glamorous personality.

In comes Stan Dean, a popular high school drama teacher dealing with his own problems

She sees Nate’s hidden talent and need for nurturing and guidance where no other teacher has, and decides to help him.

But in a surprising 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 negotiates bail, but also agrees to take Nate into his home, despite the raised eyebrows he receives from his fellow teachers.

Stan is willing to do whatever it takes to help his struggling student

But the question is, can you really help someone if you don’t want to help yourself?
