Josh is your very typical quarterback high school football player who loves to goof around, excel academically, and loves being the center of attention. But in reality, it's just a mask that Josh created so that he can please everyone, keep them happy and avoid conflict as much as possible.
But when Josh witnesses something horrific, unable to cope with his own guilt, Josh goes down a spiral and breaks down where he eventually realizes that pleasing everyone all the time is not a recipe for a fulfilling life.
