One story. A thousand plots. A major league slugger stares down a pitcher as he tightens his grip. A Texas farm boy struggles with an unwinnable war on the far side of the planet. A child in middle school escapes his world to cope with the heartache of home. A soldier leaps from a plane into a combat zone. A daughter, mangled and maimed, hides herself from the world. A small boy crosses a blistering desert for the hope of a better life. A prisoner sits in his cell, waiting to be killed.Who you are today is the end result of constant, seamless interaction between countless people, most of whom you’ll never meet. The Lesson follows a group of individuals, unknowingly intertwined, living countless different lives, across seven tumultuous decades. It is a story of determination, of love and family, of tragedy and triumph, and as its characters make their way through the journey of their lives, they begin to realize, that at the end of everything, all that truly matters is The Lesson.
