Nosta

Mr. Sawyer, an idealistic teacher who loses

hope, knowing all too well that happiness has

escaped him, makes a proclamation that he will

change his life by changing his attitude. He

decides that in the morning he will wake up a

new man, driven to self-improvement. And he

does exactly that, even waking up early, starting

his day with a jog through the park on a trail

that leads him to Nosta, an addict bent on

hurting all he encounters. Nosta and Sawyer

meet in the one way we all dread: through a

reckless and premeditated act of violence. Yet, it

is in that moment of rage and hate, that we are

challenged to consider the unwelcome

consequence of hurt, the doctrine of forgiving

those who have wronged us, and Nosta and

Sawyer will forever be linked on a spiritual

plane, one that requires we forgive, knowing

that we can never forget.
