When Arrington Neal crashes into the office of his brilliant, glamorous, eccentric mentor, Dr. Andre McPherson, he finds a strange refuge from the armed assailant chasing him across campus. Cornered and insisting he hasn’t stolen anything, Arrington relents when the assailant calls her sister in as back-up, prompting Dr. McPherson to take matters into his own hands. With a hidden pistol and delightfully unorthodox guidance, McPherson shepherds his protégé through lessons in survival, ethics, and heroics. Darkly comic and absurd, this story celebrates how courage, compassion, and unconventional mentorship reveal the sustaining power of community—even in the midst of chaos.
