Based on a short story by Jean Mizer, this film is about a teacher named Frank who is asked to find a delegation and write an eulogy for a teenage boy named Cliff Evans, who recently died unexpectedly. Despite barely knowing Evans, Frank is listed as one of the few people Evans considers a friend. After learning the backstory and unable to find enough people who knew the boy, Frank realizes the likely cause of Evans’s death and vows never to allow a similar case to happen. Frank comes to this as he was one of the few who showed any support for Evans.

- Cool Teacher: Frank meets this, after all he does research the reasons of what lead to Evans' death.
- Downer Beginning: Evans dies in front of a bus full of teenagers.
- Died in Your Arms Tonight: Evans dies in front of the bus driver.
- Dying Alone: Cliff Evans, somewhat subverted as the bus driver was with him.
- Meaningful Funeral: Frank and two other school officials are among the few to attends Evans's funeral.
- Tear Jerker: Seeing Cliff Evans was never loved, it's clear what could've lead to his death.
