Tempest McDonald takes a postdoctoral position at Vanderbilt University. Researching her paper accusing the National Institutes of Health of discrimination threatens everything she has built.
What leads an autism researcher to publish an intentionally inflammatory paper accusing the NIH of discrimination? Tempest McDonald's turbulent childhood begins to provide some answers.

After her stint as a semi-professional pool player and the birth of her son, Tempest goes west to start her belated journey through higher education.
