Being in control of our stress can make us better suited to perform necessary functions and engage with others in a healthy manner. With the weight of the world being carried on our shoulders, we need to learn how to cope with pressure and maintain composure. Otherwise, we’d get burnt out.

The year is nineteen seventy one. Lost deep in the woods of West Virginia, two childhood friends discover a book that dismantles and unravels everything they once considered reality, and when an enigmatic stranger rolls into their small coal mining town in the back of a Rolls Royce, the teenagers are plunged deep into a world of drugs, sex, music, and violence.

Justin has two goals for sophomore year: to date Chuck, the hottest boy in school, and to become the king of Cool U, the table in the cafeteria where the "in" crowd sits.
