A Better Place is the story of two boys from two completely different worlds struggling to find themselves amongst a whirlwind of confusion.

Casper, the poorest boy in school, goes through life as the "invisible boy," and Brendan, the captain of the high school varsity football team, has it all; muscles, money, fame, and popularity. So, when Brendan takes an interest in Casper, their friendship goes in a direction that no one would have ever guessed. The two boys share nothing on the surface, but underlying each boy's reputation lies a yearning to be free, a yearning to find a better place. Mark A.
