In a quintessential small Midwestern town, Professor Joshua Stone is a popular, outgoing, and quirky professor at Grant’s Hill College. He lives alone with his dog, rides a bicycle everywhere, and has memorized the high school mascot names of his students. He’s a 3-on-3-basketball player and fan who’s insular life centers around his teaching. Joshua confronts his demons while recovering from an unprovoked near-death attack. His search for an elusive witness challenges his instinctive moral and ethical compass. Woven through a gripping storyline is one man’s quest to find strength and courage. Joshua is plucked from the cocoon of teaching English composition at a small liberal arts college and thrust in to survival mode, seeking a logical explanation for the irrational violence.
