Joe “Deac” Russell seems to have it made. A good business and a great reputation in a Central Florida town struggling to survive in the midst of the social challenges and economic downturn of the late 1970’s. His constant resistance to the community’s call to public service is something he seldom wants to talk about. When a young man stumbles into his shop one afternoon, Joe is forced to confront his biggest fears and hidden secrets. With the young man’s future in his hands, will Deac overcome himself and take the opportunity to reclaim what he feared he had lost forever?
