Meet Tommy Hogan. He is an outstanding University educator who loves what he does and is good at it, until one day a female student falsely accuses him of sexual harassment. He unsuccessfully argues with the University’s Administration of his innocence, claiming she solicited him for sex in exchange for a passing grade. He did not accept the quid pro quo exchange, but the University was more interested in limiting its liabilities. The few social friends he had and the colleagues he associated with on campus prior to the alleged incident soon distance themselves from him. Needing work and with no supplemental savings available, he resigns himself to teaching online through the Internet, something he finds too solitary. He misses the face-to-face exchange with students. Feeling isolated, alone, and confused, he questions his life and wonders if he will find comfort, happiness, and love. His vulnerabilities surface, as he easily becomes a target by those seeking revenge, greed, and status at the expense of others. Tommy Hogan, once an easy going and self-assured single man, becomes embroiled in life and death situations, until he finally removes the veil that shrouds his ignorance.
