Born blind and rejected by his deceased, drug-addicted father, John has always taken refuge in the music that plays in his head. But when his senior year begins, he realizes he can’t live on the sidelines forever—no matter what his weary mother wants. Eric—a wide-eyed freshmen new to public school—finds himself at a crossroads, choosing between who he was and the possibilities of what he could become. Todd, a moody, misunderstood super-senior, who self-destructs his relationship with long-time sweetheart Jenna, is forced to open up and confront his shortcomings in order to grow. In The Coincidentals, these characters, who all start out so disconnected, find themselves increasingly entangled in a web of friendship and music—and it’s John who’s spinning the web. Is the gift of sight really what it takes to see where we need to go?
