Happenstance is a story about a boy named Keith growing up in an upper middle class environment, suddenly finding himself in an environment that is outside his control due to unforeseen circumstances. Like a puzzle, chance and random events build upon one another and suddenly he is lost and alone in the Canadian Wilderness he once romanticized from story books and television. All too soon playing becomes terrifying. Starving and nearly frozen, he finds refuge in a cave. His only hope may be things he learned growing up that were out of his character, the very things others teased and ridicule.
