Over 30 years ago, Lisa Creason attempted to rob a Subway cash register. She had no plan, no weapon, and no get-away car. It was an act of desperation to feed her infant daughter, and resulted in a criminal record she couldn’t escape. Denied her dream of becoming a nurse, Lisa must fight an unjust law to provide for her family and create opportunities for thousands of others across the state of Illinois.

A dramatic comedy about the struggles of young adulthood and the uncertainty of the future, "The Universe Where" takes a new twist on a coming-of-age story and the mental hurdles of following a dream.
