The 5th Quarter is a 2010 English-language Biography Drama motion picture written and directed by Rick Bieber and produced by Rick Bieber under the banner of 5th Quarter in collaboration with Park Entertainment. In February, 2006, young Luke Abbate accepted a ride home from a fellow student following his high-school team practice. In a severe case of irresponsible and reckless teen-age driving, and over the objections of Luke and the other young passengers, the driver lost control of the car at nearly 90 miles-per-hour, spinning off a narrow road and landing in an embankment some seventy feet below. Luke suffered irreparable brain damage, and died in the hospital two days later - just four days before his sixteenth birthday. Written by anonymous.
