- A middle-class, non-binary teen feels like an outcast in their new town of rich jocks and beauty queens, until a wishing well and the most popular guy in town offer a view from the top of the social ladder.
- Chance, a nonspeaking autistic teen, has spent 15 years trapped inside his mind, unable to speak, communicate, or even effectively convey the emotions he is feeling. His apraxia scatters the messages going from his brain to his body, so his erratic movements also fail to give accurate cues of what he wants, needs, and feels. Chance is part of a boisterous family of seven, yet he is painfully alone-left out of family trips, excluded from social activities, taunted by peers, and relegated to remedial classes. His doctors and teachers have advised his family that Chance is severely cognitively impaired. But then his mother discovers a new spelling method and the family realizes all of their assumptions about this brilliant, sensitive teen have been dead wrong. Now if they can only convince Chance's peers and teachers to see the bright human being stretching to overcome his disabilities and blaze a path for inclusion. "Presumed Incompetent" is inspired by the real life story of Wynston Browne, who plays the lead role of Chance in the film.
