Stone: John 8

Home is who the heart follows.

Living in a religious, patriarchal society, a nameless woman carves out a living independent of the men who would control her. But when ritual and tradition suddenly blossom with personal meaning, her illusion of freedom is torn away. As the last straw, her livelihood is crushed. Guilty and condemned, only a young rabbi who knows more about her than earthly possible remains between her and those who would stone her to death.

This is neither the woman's story, nor the rabbi's, but merely the moment when their stories collide. Based of the Biblical text of John, chapter eight, this fictional retelling of the woman caught in adultery transplants a timeless encounter with Jesus the Christ into contemporary hearts and minds without abandoning its historical and contextual roots.
