When allegations prompt a rising Senior to permanently leave home, he must feign loyalty to a commune that hides him so he can attain residency there and take his GED.
So what complication does living in the commune create to threaten his objective goal? Seems like he's found what he needs, a ?surrogate family, a solution to his survival problem.

I don’t comprehend what the primary issue the story will explore. ?Is fleeing from the allegation a plot setup to explore what it’s like to be involved in a cult-like-commune? ?Or is fleeing from the allegation a plot setup to work out how a character eventually matures and faces up to his past? ?What is the story really about?

Putting a character on the dramatic rack and torturing him until he comes to an epiphany works if the suffering targets a subjective problem, a flaw, the character needs to realize and overcome.
Like the teenage protagonist in “Ordinary People” who has the urge to commit suicide over guilt from the drowning of his older brother There is a clear cause and effect in the setup of the plot. ?Eventually the film climaxes in an epiphany that releases him from the guilt, enables him to resume living an ordinary life.
But when I look at this logline, I see no cause and effect relationship between the teen and the suffering, no dramatic reason why the dwarf torments him. ?The suffering seems arbitrary, capricious, suffering for the sake of mere sadism. ?What dramatic flaw is the dwarf targeting? ?Why is God (since you’ve implicated religion in the story) allowing the dwarf to torture him as he allowed Satan to torture Job?
