Synopsis
By the 2400s, the United States of America has been torn apart by natural disaster, war, and hate. When a simple bookstore owner finds out that his friend has been kidnapped by a fanatical tyranny known for torture and mutilation, he must go on a journey fraught with danger in order to save his friend’s life.
Behind the Story / Background info:
The scenes of prison brutality were written to mirror the true accounts coming out of Iran’s infamous Evin prison and the documented modes of torture implemented by the Bush administration at Guantanamo Bay. While the casual reader will not know about this correlation, the modes of torture are sure to make anyone’s skin crawl. To know that these scenes were inspired by real-life crimes against humanity will hopefully open an eye or two about the current state of human rights, or lack thereof, on the planet.
