In "America," Dr. Maureen Brennan, a psychiatrist at a
youth treatment center, encounters her newest patient, a
bi-racial boy named America. Through their sessions, Dr.
Brennan helps America come to terms with his
roller-coaster life, which began when he was taken by
authorities from his crack-addicted mother, and placed
into foster care as an infant. The short time of
stability in his life occurred when America lived with
Mrs. Harper, the elderly nanny to one of his foster
families. Later reunited with his mother, she soon
abandons America and he is again placed into foster care.
Lagging behind in school and full of anger, America
retreats further away from society after years of sexual
abuse. After attempting suicide, America is placed in a
treatment center where Dr. Brennan helps him open up
about his painful past and discover the support and
courage he needs to get his life back on track.
