When Shawn Serrell, a reporter for the "Sheriton Post, " foils an attempted robbery at Conway Plaza, he becomes a celebrity of sorts. A bachelor with a nose for news, he earns a bonus as well as a promotion to the mobile news unit. The police and Serrell's boss congratulate him on both the breaking-news story and his heroism; however, the gang members involved in the thwarted robbery attempt may want to make Sherrell pay for what he's done. His newfound fame generates more publicity than he needs. Sherrell receives a mysterious phone call asking him to investigate wrongdoing at the Alma Welborn Institute, a private and government-funded institution catering to disabled veterans. This assignment intrigues Sherrell who has become known as a news-action magnet. But the price he must pay to cover the story may be too high. First, Sherrell's apartment is struck by an arsonist, and he loses the paper evidence related to the hospital case. Then, his contact goes missing. Sherrell, who feels as if he's being continually followed, doesn't know who he should fear.

George Allen Stone-philosopher, pacifist, equalizer, survivalist, human being, and friend-is the kind of fellow everyone wants to know. He and his wife, Judy, share the ability to find the sunshine on the cloudiest days and to find the hope on the darkest day. George and Judy know that laughter is just as necessary as breathing, and they share that gift with everyone they meet. George is just a regular guy working a regular shift at a regular factory in the crazy, irreverent, no-rules, anything-goes (and is said) world of the early 1970s. It was a time when it was sometimes fashionable for the little head to do the thinking for the big head, a time when a woman was smart enough to let her husband think he actually ruled the roost, and an era when most people truly had enough common sense to really care and get involved with one another. Unlike the people around him, George knows the secret to happiness in any situation: a great sense of humor. As others around him are caught in some potentially sticky situations, George's optimism allows him to sidestep most of these quagmires with hilarious results. George is one of those characters, that special person who can help make life's journey a bit more bearable. Through his unique perspective on life, George helps everyone around laugh out loud, no matter what the world throws his way.
