The catalyst is the story of Eli. A young man who is a late bloomer. He is much smaller than his peers...and he is tired of everyone, and everything in his world reminding him of that! Most of the time he just takes the teasing. After all, what can he do about his size? But when the school bully makes the teasing more public...he just can't take it anymore.

In his efforts to protect his pride he finds something more. A spark that will ignite and grow for the rest of his life. When Eli finds his place, his "thing", he finds a way to rise above what others think of him and their judgements about what he can and can't do.
