Plagued by memories of his own past decisions and the images of California during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960′s, Macon is met with a shocking truth about the ripples effects of those years. And with this discovery, he will confront the biggest challenge of his life.
We also meet Robert, a young man heading off to a small Christian college, where he optimistically expects to find love, community, and God.
