We were arguable the worst group of friends people had laid their eyes on. We had the Prego one, Suicide Sadie, Dope Boy, The Jock and the Psycho Brainiac. But between the labels we all had one thing on common, we saw past the 'ugly' we only saw the beautiful even if we didn't see it the same way. We were 'The Skwad'.

Caught between Rumors, labels, and high school in general; these teens come face-to-face with reality when they meet at a support group for troubled teens. Helping each other  cope with day to day life they find that when you take out all the labels they were just five teenagers struggling to survive senior year. 

~The Skwad is a full-of-life coming of age story following a group of unlikely teenager friends on the brink of life, school and peers.All Rights Reserved
