Stay The Course, set in rural Carroll County, North Carolina, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, tells the moving story of a grandmother's (Ma) lifelong dream to see one of her own get a high school diploma. With four grandchildren set to graduate like stair steps, nothing seems to be standing in the way. But on a cloudy Saturday evening, tragedy strikes, leaving one grandson dead, another running from the police, one granddaughter emotionally shattered, and Ma with one last hope — Lori. But nothing could have prepared Lori for the struggles she would face on her journey to fulfill Ma’s dream — sibling relations, race relations, accepting personal responsibility for her decisions and having to learn positive ways of addressing life’s challenges by first seeking to understand differences rather than judge. And just when she thought the worst was over, the worst was yet to come. On a beautiful Saturday evening, three days before Ma’s dream would stop being a dream, the unbelievable happens.
