The Night Class

by David Alex Jones

Overview

The Night Class is a coming of age drama, the story of Samantha (Sam) Bower, a young university teaching assistant who is studying hard to make a career for herself as a psychologist, while also struggling to overcome the trauma of a childhood of abuse and abandonment, and navigating a voyage of self-discovery. Sam’s career goals are already hanging by a thread when she is assigned to mentor a ragtag team of undergraduates, who must complete a controversial, divisive, and seemingly impossible group project on Indigenous Reconciliation in only a few short weeks. At the same time, Sam's world is unexpectedly turned upside-down when she discovers that her real father, who abandoned her when she was a child, is Indigenous and was a residential school survivor. The team members' personality quirks soon cause tempers to flare and racial tension and emotions to boil over, creating a perfect storm of dysfunction that threatens to derail the team and Sam.
