After a big fire at a circus, a few pages of a diary are all that is left to tell the story of an immigrant running from persecution and prejudice.

​​​​​​​The diary is the final legacy of the man who found acceptance and reconciliation in a community of circus clowns.

Adam, a survivor of ethnic attacks, is desperate to leave a dystopian America. Exit, however, is impossible, and employment in a circus becomes his only option. There, as a clown, he comes face to face with multi-stranded consequences of ethnic hatred. Living and working in the circus’ diverse community of oppressed individuals, Adam discovers friendship and a path of reconciliation if not escape.
