Oscar "Pap" Jones is a newly retired high school janitor with a huge chip on his shoulder. After losing a daughter to pneumonia and a son to California, cancer takes his wife, leaving him to face the rigors of life all alone. As he emerges from his grief, he decides he has a score to settle with his wealthy neighbor, and he takes to settling it with everything he has. Controversy is nothing new to Pap, but this time he may have bitten off more than he can chew when his neighbor hires an ex-cop named Bodie to fight his battles for him. Bodie is young and hungry for power, and determined not to be outdone by a cantankerous old man.
Norton Road is a story of passion unrestrained, told with grit, realism, and sometimes a bit of humor, exactly the way such things happen in real life.
