Behind in his schoolwork and unable to concentrate in class, DonaId has falIen through the cracks of the system - a drain on everyone that tries to help out. Unable to make friends and socialize, Donald is an emotional powder-keg waiting to explode. The WiItwyck SchooI for troubled youths may be his last chance for a normaI Iife.
