Joshua Barrett is as he should be' in 2017 Cheery Point. In this small American town citizens have conformed to a welfare program originally created to deter the social unrest stemming from the Cold War. Hailed as the 'penicillin of its day' the enzyme Torpase is taken daily while attached to the abdomen to eliminate all psychological and physical stressers. These citizens, known as 'pasers', simply exist; the need and knowledge of art, religion and emotional empathy becomes moot. JoshuaÂ’s life centers on a habitual workday as a photographer at BrotzkyÂ’s Media, a company that mettles around with very little due to the effects of Torpase and the lack of interest in stylistic/colorful graphics.

However, this lifestyle is shattered for Joshua when he is taken hostage by Albert, the last priest of the Roman Catholic Church. Albert introduces him to a resistance whose members show emotion openly, commonly referred to as 'springers'. This group of individuals and their actions are regarded as dangerous, illegal and easy to identify by Cheery PointÂ’s mayor and his swat-like following at the Torpase Distribution Division (T.D.D). JoshuaÂ’s criticism of this movement diminish as Albert enlightens him to the point of emotional awareness and a fuller understanding of the world around him, along with the help of a handful of other fellow 'springers'. His path collides with Becca Reynolds, a young woman who is haunted with an overwhelming need to continue Â“pasingÂ” to quell her issues with depression, despite her desperate desire to be without. In the mix also is Corey Sarte, a survivalist in search of his sister. Joshua quickly finds himself with a decision to make: return to the mayor's "civilized society" or enlist the help of the 'springers' to demobilize the T.D.D factory and restore sentimentality to Cheery Point.
