Take My Sunshine

We never really know what we have until it's gone. That's what Devon Camburn realizes the night he makes an awful mistake and jeopardizes his relationship. Piling on top of his already failing grades, the only thing that can make it worse - in the throes of his mistake at a drunken party - he stumbles into the last person he wants to see - his professor, Dr. Asan, who just gave him a lecture on responsibility that day. What Devon expects to be a beratement turns into a story - one where Dr. Asan shares about his own misgivings in college, his love and losses, and the search for his identity as an Indian-American in 1990, told over a single, stormy winter night.
