Smoke Screen

Drugs - Lies - High School

He was her baby. It was the two of them against the world.

They moved halfway across the country without any help - ready to make a fresh start.

Lynda did everything a good mother should. She worked hard to be both mother and father. She attended Cub Scout meetings, and helped him win the Pinewood Derby. She attended every single parent teacher conference, and helped him with homework every night. It was all up to her.

They did everything together...until they didn't. Sure, she knew that kids grow up. She wasn't naive. But this? How could a single mom cope with this kind of behavior from her youngest son?

When Lynda's son starts experimenting with drugs, everything she thinks she knows about parenting is tested. She's on her own.
