BRAVE THE DARK tells the gritty and inspiring true story of a teacher’s profound influence on a struggling student. When Mr. Deen (Jared Harris – CHERNOBYL, THE CROWN) discovers one of his students, Nate (Nicholas Hamilton – IT, CAPTAIN FANTASTIC) has been living out of his car and thrown into jail, he decides to bail him out. Determined to curb Nate’s self-destructive behavior, Mr. Deen quickly discovers a host of dark secrets that are slowly tearing Nate apart. What started as a good deed becomes a desperate fight to save Nate from his own demons. As Nate spirals deeper into despair, Mr. Deen must decide how far he’s willing to go to save a kid on the brink of losing-everything – even himself.
