From their initial meeting as high school students, Scott and Sid appear to be an unlikely pair. Scott is a chaotic visionary, determined to forge his own path and defy anyone who stands in his way. He embodies the archetype of a troubled adolescent: attending his fifth high school by age fifteen, feeling isolated from his classmates, plagued by persistent nightmares, and unloved by his foster family. In contrast, Sid longs for acceptance. His lack of confidence and social awkwardness, compounded by a challenging upbringing, leave him with little opportunity for friendships or leisure activities.
