Stray
Stray tells the story of a white couple who move to Ohio from Uganda with a very troubled adopted child, and struggle to find a place fot him within the public school system. We follow Daniel's progress through the eyes of thes adults who are repsonible for him: his parents, the principle, the therapist, and his classroom teacher. As this traumatized child's behavior becomes increasingly alienating and dangerous, all of the characters are forced to examine their own choices in life, and the roles they have taken on as caregivers.
