Description: When six middle school classmates are gathered together for a weekly chat, they fear this new unfamiliar situation and wonder what their teacher thinks they are supposed to get out of the experience. In an abandoned art room, with no adults, the six get to know one another and realize that, in this room, it's safe to discuss the things that are bothering them.
