Dan Dunne, un profesor de un conflictivo instituto de una zona pobre de Brooklyn, adicto a las drogas, entabla una insólita amistad con Drey, una de sus problemáticas estudiantes, cuando ésta descubre su secreto.

One of the finest actors of his generation and the face that launched a thousand memes, Ryan Gosling earned an Oscar® nod for his morally ambiguous turn as a burned-out teacher with a dark secret. This gripping drama about an unlikely friendship takes a devastating look at modern alienation.
