The story of Fred Hampton, deputy chairman of the national Black Panther Party, who was assassinated in 1969 by a Cook County tactical unit on the orders of the FBI and Chicago Police Department.

“A Paracosm" centers around an apathetic ex-college athlete that runs an AirBnB upstate alongside an imaginary, terminally ill mother figure. In a coming of age story that is equal parts dark comedy & magical realism, an eclectic range of BnB guests & visitors inspire him to confront his aimlessness.
