Tom Stritch is in his final year of High School and dreams of receiving a scholarship to escape his small town life. However, as his best friend Madison explains, dreams never come true for people like them.
From the moment this story begins, you will be dragged down to the level of those who seek to excuse their misery as a by-product of a system built to make them fail. Tom must navigate fake news, an abusive father, an alcoholic mother and rely upon a friend whose own life is as torn as his own to achieve his goal. In the end, he may end up sacrificing everything to win.
This is a story about America's youth trying to find its way in a country in its decline. Inspired by all the negativity and bigotry often anonymously blasted across the Internet, it speaks to a new surge in an ages old excuse for failure: My life is somebody else's fault.
