Living under a theocratic government growing more oppressive by the day in an alternative but not so far-fetched version of the United States, Mark is confronted with the possibility that it's time to leave. As he tries to escape Dallas, Texas and make it to the sanctuary of San Francisco, California with his partner, he's confronted with several critical situations along the way. Should you leave? Should you trust strangers? Is trying to escape worth getting killed? And what exactly happens to someone when they've left everything behind and realize they've lost it all? In the longest and best fictional work to date by author Hayden Russell, this story is a personal account of what can happen when oppression is allowed to spiral out of control.
