Monster

Monster, adapted from the 1999 National Book Award-nominated novel by Walter Dean Myers, tells the story of Steve Harmon. Steve is a 16-year-old aspiring filmmaker in juvenile detention whose life has been turned upside down by his alleged participation in a robbery gone awry. Now he may have to spend the rest of his life behind bars. As the prosecution makes its case, Steve writes his story as a screenplay, trying to understand if he’s really the monster people say he is.
