?The year is 1999 and Tonya Sommers' life is as promising as one could imagine. Graduating Valedictorian, popular among the students, and well known in her church; she spends Friday nights caring for her invalid grandmother. Engaged to a prominent real estate broker and headed for a top University with legacy ties to one of the larger sororities, it appeared that she had nothing more to do but enjoy the ride. The halls of higher education will many times take the form of a moral, social labyrinth and Tonya finds herself caught in an emotional, spiritual, and intellectual whirlwind of conflicting beliefs, voided convictions, paper thin assurances, and the disturbed realization of her own sexuality… Manipulation in life's entirety marks the devious archetype of Glen Forrest. His motivations are singular and egocentric while his words are rehearsed and inauthentic. Once you understand his business, his actions won't surprise you; but when the perversions of a middle-aged man spill from the beach bars into this University schoolyard justice, amends, and redemption find definition without the help of a courtroom… Jason Lancer has a problem he doesn't have a clue how to fix. Instead, he surrounds himself with the simple objective pleasures afforded by money and drugs. The little University town in which he lives enables his delusions of grandiosity. As each graduating class departs, the newest students always bring a fresh set of opportunities with them that Jason's refined cool has had no problem exploiting. Yet when he is introduced to Tonya his cool gives way to a genuine yearning, and he finds himself driven beyond all limits… Waves, women and weed are Raymond Meyers' three favorite things. So, a University near his home beach with a five to one girl to guy ratio, minutes from a major spring break destination, seemed to him a no-brainer. When he meets Jason, he settles into a school connection and when he meets Tonya, he thinks he falls in love. Love, as seen from a school boy's perspective can be devastating and Raymond plays the role precisely… William Barrett excels at two things: He knows how to survive on the leftovers and he knows his drums well enough to get him into college early, on a full ride, even when the chair of the department will swear, "He is only fifteen-years-old and I've seen his middle school transcript. He is a discipline problem." Welcome to Mercy Town
