Who could hold a grudge for fifty years? As he crossed the stage to receive his high school diploma, Mark Pierce was met with a chorus of boos. In just one fateful night during the final weeks of his senior year, Mark had managed to earn the title "Most Despised Classmate." Realizing his classmates hated him for what he had done, he immediately left Oak Ridge, vowing never to return. For fifty years, Mark avoided the pain of the past and never looked back. Now, armed with an invitation from the reunion committee and buoyed by the hope he can put a terrible memory to rest, Mark summons the courage to spend four days at his fiftieth high school reunion - a milestone celebration in life. Motivated by a nagging curiosity, Mark seeks to determine if classmates who stayed in the comfort zone of Oak Ridge found more happiness and greater contentment than those, like himself, who left the confines of childhood to embrace the unknown world out there. Can he repair a fifty-year-old mistake and find forgiveness? Will he regret leaving his former comfort zone? Follow the insights of one man's nostalgic journey as he comes to grips with a life decision he made so long ago.
