Synopsis

I also wrote a synopsis today so my Novel Info page didn't look so blank.


Gainor Hassy just wants the best for everybody, and is willing to go out of his way to make sure they get it. He avoids confrontation and advocates peace. He even does his best to be friendly with a loud-mouth coworker, Bill, whose politics he finds reprehensible. After all, everyone is entitled to their opinions.


Then the President declares martial law, and America erupts into revolution. Gainor knows which side he stands on - until his ten-year-old son is mercilessly killed at the hands of an unsympathetic government. His wife Joyce starts rallying even harder for peace, but to Gainor, suddenly Bill doesn't look quite so crazy anymore.


Is it family loyalty to help your wife in her noble cause? Or is it family loyalty to turn your own values upside-down in the pursuit of justice for your dead son?
