Coach's Hue is a tale of mystery, heartbreak, adventure and heroism: a new and hybridized being is formulated from Mother Nature's perseverance to survive humanity. A natural mystic guides Coach throughout his journey as humanity continues to ignorantly ravage the Earth with no regard for the negative effects and byproducts it produces along the way. In order for Mother Nature to persist, she is forced to take matters into her own proverbial hands. Born of The Great Smoky Mountains, Coach possesses several nature-derived abilities that he enacts with the people who support him as catalysts in his unique life. Just like the good comes with the bad, cause has an effect, and yin always has a yang. Coach must ultimately release what he absorbs throughout his journey. Coach is perpetually guided by Mother Nature and his antics are charming for most of the people he encounters, but not everyone is swayed by such exuberance. As life continues to unfold for Coach, the environment is deteriorating due to human negligence. This story is very humane whilst proportionately mysterious, and it possesses significant parallels to humanity's current and collective relationship with its environment. Everything we do as a species has an impact on the environment we all live within. The human species is meant to coexist harmoniously with the Earth. Yet, somewhere along the way this principal was lost. Mother Nature must be cruel to be kind.
