The Janitor

In a quiet midwestern town, a solitary janitor tends to a neglected high school after hours, his routine a careful art of staying unseen. When a new student crosses his path—skeptical, clever, and quietly searching for belonging—an unexpected bond forms, sparked by small acts of kindness and shared secrets tucked away from the world. As they navigate the stale corridors and flickering lights, they uncover a hidden layer of the building’s past and, with it, a chance to heal old wounds. Their late-night conversations illuminate courage, resilience, and the surprising power of a single quiet ally.
