Synopsis: | This play explores the heart and soul of a teenage boy caught in a downward spiral of depression. The play chronicles Justin's slow and painful deterioration through his journal entries. We learn of his anger surrounding his father's untimely death, his disappointment at not getting into the police academy, and his constant sense of isolation, even when around other kids his age. Though Justin's mother and friends try to reach out to him, he pushes them all away. Sadly, they give up too easily, not fathoming the depth of his anguish. | |||||
