Nikolai is a regular 17-year-old trying to get through his last year at his high school, Benson-Creek High. He lives with his mom and 3 younger siblings. While his mom is out with her boyfriend, Nikolai is left to take on the burden of caring for children while keeping up his studies. His friends are worried about him, but Nikolai isn't the person to see the bad in people. He sticks up for his incompetent mother, justifying that she needs to time to get back on track after his dad left... Fifteen years ago. He pushes through every day with a tired smile and keeping up with his mother's responsibilities. Running on three hours of sleep probably isn't healthy for a growing teenage boy. But Nick can do it. He's strong. He doesn't need help, he needs to help others. But one day, Nick snaps.
