High

- Season 1

(2016)

Alexander Trent is a high school senior that utilizes his nearly invisible social status to profit off of and enjoy marijuana. Alex's disconnection seems to be a typical teenage occurrence in his family's eyes, so they remain oblivious to his habit and lucrative business, though both his father and brother are local sheriff deputies. The variety of clients Alex interacts with, ranging from fellow students to housewives, illustrate that he and many of those around him all live double lives due to their habit. Each person wears a neutral facade while in the public eye, ...

Immediately after delivering the eulogy, Alex takes off into the woods and faces his deepest fears. Upon returning home, Alex finds his former life in ruins; his parents have pulled him from school and placed him in drug treatment.

Bill leaves town to search for T in the vast deserts surrounding the forest. Alex settles into a new, lonely routine as he is the only one left in the empty Trent house day to day.

On Christmas Eve, Alex spends another lonely day at the Trent house surrounded by months of built-up filth. Even he can't stand it anymore and decides to do something about it.

Bill catches Alex smoking a joint and is convinced he's relapsed. He berates him, giving Alex one month to take the GED and pack his things before Bill kicks him out for good on his 18th birthday.

The day of the GED has come and Alex spends the morning anxiously studying until an old friend reaches out for help. The reality of Alex leaving home sets in and Bill hits rock bottom, no one around to keep him accountable for his actions.
