After his father dies suddenly and his family's fortune takes a nosedive, Jonas Shore starts selling weed and pills to cool kids at his Philadelphia high school to support himself and his mother; that is, until his hustle catches up with him and he's sent away to Lafayette Academy. In this testosterone-fueled boarding school for fatherless boys, Jonas learns how to survive. He and his roommates form a tight unit, vowing to have each others' backs for life, but their bond is tested after a brush with death threatens to rob them of their futures. Two decades later, Jonas is balancing a family and several successful businesses when one of his old Lafayette pals shows up with ghosts from the past, threatening to destroy everything he's built. Set to a killer soundtrack with Zeppelin, Bowie and Philly R&B, Scorched is an engrossing portrait of a young man's coming-of-age and a gripping look at what happens when he tries to outrun his past.
