It is the 1960’s and a 17 year-old boy from the Bronx suddenly finds himself in a private school in New Hampshire. He’s violent, gifted, alienated, and on fire with a ferocious loneliness. Two faculty members wrestle with the dilemma: Is the kid a star or a disaster? A passionate, explosive portrait of a young man on the verge of salvation or destruction.
Local Reviews:

“[William] English is quite simply astounding in the role of Jim Quinn. He perfectly embodies the contradictions and messy chaos of adolescence…” – Pat Bitton, North Coast Journal
