Alex appears to be the typical high school nightmare: cruel, violent, and feared by everyone. Branded as the school bully, no one suspects the darkness hiding behind his tough exterior.

Trapped in a cycle of shame, pain, and silence, Alex has long given up on the idea of being saved. That is, until Arthur arrives.
