The Lantern

The Savant and the Orphan Jason Hartline and Michael Washington are as disparate a pair of friends as one is likely to find. A dedicated cynic and militant atheist, Jason is a scientific prodigy and an evident genius from an early age, who never fit in with anyone else throughout the course of his life. Michael, on the other hand, is a man of unshakeable faith, born from childhood tragedies which left him an orphan and, to some extent, an addict. Nothing about their friendship should work; and at times, it does not. Yet, when Jason makes a scientific discovery which will change the very nature of everything humanity believes, Michael and Jason will discover just how important each other's beliefs are to their own salvation.
