The townsfolk of Rusty Knob, West Virginia, see the Gillettes as ignorant wastes of space- worthless drunk sponges. As the youngest, Wynn may be a Gillette, but he doesn't act, nor think like one. At only seventeen, he studies hard, plays basketball harder, and works the hardest. Wynn is numb to his core, no longer feeling the hits that keep knocking him down to the ground. He's unable to see the bright future laid out before him. Royce Kennedy, a distant relative, tries all he can do to save the youngest generation of Gillettes from the dark shroud of bitter ignorance infecting them via their neglectful upbringing. Wynn's studying is to the backdrop of drunken chaos, his relationship with friends and family are tainted by a narrow world view, and his life is filled with more questions than answers. His every dollar earned is bled dry come payday, only to have his parents piss it down the toilet or blow caustic smoke to billow in the air. A warped sense of loyalty forces Wynn to be his family's enabler, and he's paying the ultimate price. With the support system of Royce, the mentor of the school district's LGBTQ online community, and Wynn's friends, they try to prove to Wynn he deserves anything he needs, whether he earns it or not. Growing up in an ignorant wasteland, he never learned love, friendship, and respect are unconditional, can never be purchased, and should never be abused. Wynn Gillette is at a crossroads. One thing's for sure, he cannot continue on this destructive path. Wynn has to end the only life he's ever known, breaking the bitter legacy passed down from one generation to the next. One way or the other. Permanently.
