The Touch: Breaking the Cycle

The Touch

Shay Owens is a troubled teen from a deeply troubled home.

Bullying to keep his true identity from being revealed, Shay

stays cruel to anyone that dares to get close to him, as a

buffer of emotional safety.

Hoping to break free one day from family trauma, and live on

his own he is desperate to find solace in family and friends

who can provide peace of mind and safety.

Facing difficult decisions without an emotional toolbox to navigate

by, Shay finds he must choose to live a life of crime to survive or

accept a court-ordered summer program for wayward teens.

Shay learns through the most unlikely pairing that friendship &

the power of touch can do more than hurt.
