A critically acclaimed, moving story of redemption and courage featuring an Oscar-nominated performance by Ryan Gosling (La La Land, Drive), alongside Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker, Captain America).
Dan, an idealistic, but self-destructive junior high teacher spends his time outside school on the edge of consciousness. He juggles his hangovers and his homework, keeping his lives precariously separated, until one of his troubled students, Drey, catches him in a compromising situation. From this awkward beginning, Dan and Drey stumble into an unexpected friendship that threatens either to undo them, or to provide the vital change they both need to move forward in their lives.
