Morning In Autumn

September of 2004, in the aftermath of a school shooting, new student Connie Turner avoids the young man who saved her younger brother's life, while battling with a shameful awareness that she is not the same as before the event.

Meanwhile, Max Nathan learns to live his life as a media hyped hero only because he was able to stop the shooter by accidentally killing him, a boy who had been his friend since childhood.

While recovering from his injuries, Connie's brother Brandon reaches out to the shooter's stepsister, Imana Kelly, attempting to understand why this event occurred in the first place.

For the rest of the year, these four students of Cleargate High struggle to accept what has happened in their town, an event that none of them saw coming. However, they begin to see that healing can mean different things to different people.
