孤独心灵相互融合的故事，12岁的少年查克在追寻自己遗失的父亲存在的学校之路上发现了一个名叫麦克里欧的老师。初见时，麦克里欧那张狰狞可怖的脸庞使查克感到震惊，但随着时间的流逝，他 slowly uncovers the truth about MacLeod – that he was once a dedicated teacher, whose countenance was marred for saving his students.
As their lonely souls grow closer, they provide comfort to each other. However, just as queries between the two seem to blossom, Chuck's mother, Gracey-Lou, suddenly takes notice of her son's every move. She remains silent about MacLeod's mysterious past, forbidding further interaction between them.
