Destined to be an American classic, Superficial Cuts is the story of a 21-year-old university student at the beginning of what could be a glorious life. Previously insulated from the harsh realities of life by his suburban, middle class existence, Robert "Bud" Anderson believes he has his future firmly in his grasp with the road to success planned out to the last detail. As part of his "master plan", Bud searches for a job that will demonstrate his self-reliance and innate people skills. He believes he has found this job at the Colter Childcare Center – an institution treating teenage boys and girls suffering from maladies that are difficult to understand and even more difficult to treat. His tenure at the Center rushes him through some of the extremes of the human condition, from psychotic rages and violent outbursts to the death of one of his young charges. He is pushed to the edge of the abyss, causing him to question everything that, up until now, was simply taken for granted. Having been compared to Catcher in the Rye and One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Superficial Cuts is an insightful look into yet another American generation.
