What is the story?

The Evan of our story is a high school misfit who is desperate for any form of recognition from his peers. When a fellow student's suicide rocks the community, Evan is thrust into its centre, finally getting what he's always wanted: a chance to fit in.

Smart, contemporary and timely, it is a touching and socially conscious exploration of the tumult of adolescence, and what just what we're willing to sacrifice to find our own place in the overwhelming noise of the modern world
