What could go wrong in a small town?

Sixteen-year-old Rich's world shatters when his mother’s overdose forces him to leave the city and move in with his grandmother in the small town of Halford.
Struggling to adjust, Rich quickly clashes with the local football team, which leads to a violent altercation that gets him expelled from school.

Just when things seem hopeless, he finds an unlikely mentor in Scooter, a tough, cigar-smoking mechanic who offers him a job and a chance to start over. However, Rich's desire for acceptance leads him down a dangerous path of violence and drugs when he hooks up with a group of local outcast teens.

As he spirals deeper into trouble, Rich realizes that there is more to Halford than he ever imagined. If he wants to make it out, he's going to have to learn how to break a vicious cycle.
