β¦ Synopsis
Fifteen-year-old Corey shares the intimate struggles he faces during this formative time in Garland, Texas. He shares the conflicts staring him down with his parents, his friends, and the internal demons that keep him questioning his choices and the path he's on. The tension of peer pressure, intimacy, and proving himself culminate in choices that force his life direction that is not what he really wants. And, young love that infuses him with a yearning for understanding and self-definition, instead leaves him questioning and dissatisfied.
In No Take Backs, Corey tells a story that is raw, real, and conflicted. Life in high school is not consumed by sports and making good grades, but of survival and finding his way -- alone.
