Dr. Eric Darden is an elderly, retired college professor. From birth and early childhood, his life was a series of difficult challenges and terrible losses.
Eric suffered lifelong discrimination and mistreatment for every aspect of his “living while black.”
He suffered a crippling accident in a truck assembly plant. He endured the deaths of his mother and his dear wife. He was persistently persecuted while working in his old age as a janitor by two street gang thugs.
But then came his therapeutic backyard beekeeping.
His honeybees brought him peace, order, harmony, and healing.
Until they, too, were attacked.
Until there were two unexplained deaths.
Murder? Negligent homicide? Unexplained?
