The Scrub reveals the lives of three teens, each facing insurmountable challenges. Janus Mann is at odds with his football coach; his best friend Barnaby is being bullied by his physical therapist; and Asha’s life is controlled by her alcoholic father. Yet the three friends remain determined to achieve success.
The story shines light on high school life, ripped open like a scab. Where on any given day you can reach soaring heights; or just as easily be beaten down into a dark pit of despair.
In spite of the set-backs, our trio of plucky friends persists. But when Janus luck reaches rock bottom, he has only one place to turn he seeks advice from the ghost of Green Bay Packers legend Curly Lambeau, who becomes his mentor and surrogate father.
As dark forces mount a final attack, is it too late for the friends to alter their fate? Or will they accept Carly’s lesson: that through loyalty, friendship and team work you will always be stronger than going it alone?
