A Quarterfinalist in the prestigious Academy Nicholl Fellowship, King for a Day is a coming-of-age story set in 1976 in central New Jersey. It follows Ron Baker, a precocious teenager harboring a secret crush on an older classmate who is light years out of his league. Then, the night before the SATs, they find themselves at the same college party — and she gives him a ride home. Their intense conversation forges an unexpected emotional connection, leaving Ron reeling. As his emotional roller coaster gains speed, he must come to terms with feelings he was never prepared to confront. Say Anything... meets The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
