But now the valedictorian is back home after his first term at Queens, and something is terribly wrong. Once perceived as destined for great things, he's now inexplicably sullen. His parents are frantic. Why won't he talk to them? What is he hiding? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn desperation they turn to Punanai House for answers. But the rough-and-tumble world of addiction treatment is not what they expect.
