    When he sees the teacher who sexually assaulted him as a child, a young executive’s memories of years of abuse flood back and he embarks on a mission to protect other boys, only to discover what he really seeks is to avenge his abused friend?s suicide.

    Thanks for persisting with this dpg.

    “protect other boys” becomes a crusade to try and get authority figures (police, the current school etc.) to stop the teacher having contact with boys ie a flawed active-passive approach.
    His game plan up until his first change of goal is:
    1. Try and re-bury his past – but he can’t.
    2. Prove the teacher is no longer active stalking boys – but he is.
    3. Vaguely hope “being there” (ie fully passive) will cause the teacher to behave differently – doomed to fail.
    4. Get the police to intervene – they can’t without a crime (his key flaw is he won’t own up to his own abuse. One of the detectives gut-knows he’s a victim but can’t get him to fess-up.).
    5. Get the school the teacher is at to keep him from boys – but they appear to believe in the teacher, largely based on references from other schools starting with the school where our executive and his friend were abused ( our executive does not get to see that he has actually alerted the school to look more closely).
    6. Get his childhood school to admit giving a glowing reference was wrong – but they are super-defensive and attack our executive back ( he was expelled as a child on the false accusation, by the teacher to protect himself, of homosexual acts with his childhood friend).
    7. Try again to get the school the teacher is at to keep him from boys by revealing more of himself and more detailed information – but the school plays its cards close to its chest and redirects him to the police.
    8. Go again to the police intending to start opening to the detectives so as to give a crime they can use – but the lead detective has decided he has a better chance of getting the teacher by using our executive as a weapon, not a witness, and he deflects the report.

    … and that is about the midpoint; where our executive realises he has to become more active (one on one)? because he is literally on his own.

    The “seemingly impossible” was my attempt to summarise that every action he takes fails, often because he cannot pass his responsibility to others (or even enlist them while he remains closed).

    Keen to hear your take on summarising all this down to a few words.?? Looks like my “protect other boys” is not strong enough.? It’s wordy but “embarks on a doomed to fail mission to get relevant authorities to stop the teacher”? And my count for that is 43 words.

    Cheers, Lx

    Thanks guys - reread SLEEPERS (transcript) just to make sure.?? Almost no intersection other than childhood sexual abuse and the urge to get even.?

    When he discovers the teacher who sexually assaulted him as a child acquitted of another paedophile charge, a young executive?s memories of years of abuse flood back and he embarks on a seemingly impossible mission to protect other boys from him.
