Giving it his all, Gordon Sterling struggles to face the challenges
and meet the demands for entry into the privileged world of
academia. But graduate school is nothing like what he expected;
it's a charade. Day to day, Sterling discovers more pretense and
tyranny lying beneath the facade of the hallowed halls, where he is
shocked to find the reason for the mysterious death of a fellow
student. Sick with despair and disillusionment, he bolts from
academia, but remains unfulfilled, tormented by nagging doubts
about having left his true calling behind. Just as he is devastated
by personal betrayal, Sterling seizes an unexpected opportunity to
join SCA Institute, this time on the other side of the lectern as
Professor of Psychology. He is not prepared for what awaits him. In
fierce conflict with tenured Professor Beatrice Sinclair's
power-driven world of academic grants and contracts - a world in
which big time research money is everything and students hardly
matter - Sterling finds himself entrenched in a battle for career
survival against the threatening political machinations of a
cartel-like buddy system of academic, government, and military
officials. With pitifully insufficient experience in this
manipulative world, Sterling fights for survival as his avowed
antagonists reach ruthlessly into the upper echelons of the
university's power structure to destroy him and to bury his ideals.
