A school social studies assignment leads to social changes that spread from city-to-city. Assigned to come up with some idea that will improve mankind- a young boy decides that if he can do three good deeds for someone and they in turn can ”pay it forward” and so forth- positive changes can occur. What appears to initially be a failure- is indeed a success that is not immediately known but is traced backwards by a reporter who is a benefactor. The initial recipients of the boy are a drug addict- his badly scarred school teacher- and a classmate who is constantly bullied by his peers. While physically and mentally scarred by past events- the teacher is not the only one bearing scars. The young boy fears his mother’s fate- particularly at his brutal- alcoholic father’s hands. The mother also bears scars from her childhood with a homeless- alcoholic mother.
