SYNOPSIS:
Jake Taylor has it all, friends, fame, a basketball scholarship and the hottest girl in school. What could be better? Enter Roger Dawson. Roger has nothing. No friends. No hope. Nothing but put-downs and getting pushed aside. Jake and Roger were best friends when they were kids. But the politics of high school quickly pulled them apart. Now Roger doesn't fit in Jake's — or anyone's circle – and he's had enough. He walks onto campus with a gun in his pocket and pain in his heart and makes a tragic move. Jake's last-ditch effort can't stop Roger, and the sudden tragedy rocks Jake's world. Something breaks loose inside and sends him questioning everything. Most of all, he can't shake the question; could I have saved Roger? In a quest for answers, Jake finds himself looking for the next Roger and reaching out to the outcasts and lonely. But he quickly finds that crossing class castes threatens all his world is built on. And it could cost him his own friends, his girl, his dreams and even his reputation. Is it worth the price to find the answer to his ultimate question; what do I want my life to be about?

VERY EXCITING!
As a reminder, if you plan to show the movie to a group outside of a residence, please make sure to get a Movie License or Package at http://www.OutreachFilms.com. It gives you the legal rights and some great marketing and ministry resources for greater impact.
Also, National To Save A Life Week is Sep 6th-12th. Wouldn’t it be great if thousands of groups all over the country were showing the movie at the same time!
Thanks to all of you who pour into the lives of teens. The movie would have reached very few people without you.

You are missing an excellent opportunity for impact through the thousands of youth camps in session this summer in the USA. They provide a great venue for viewing, reflection, discussion, and dealing with the openness created. The week long sessions provide adequate feedback time. You might want to contact CCCA and CCLC camps and see if they might be open to using the videos this summer. Also great exposure to lots of youth leaders.
