Embedded with aneco-terrorist group hellbent on explosive direct action, investigativejournalist Owen Graham is enmeshed in a dangerous culture on the politicalfringe. Ordinary citizens, frustrated by inequality and oppression and abureaucracy's resistance to change, are starting to go off the grid anddisrupt the status quo. But the fringe is poised to go mainstream, andOwen's days as a passive observer are running short.

While a series of escalatingmisunderstandings land an idealistic public school teacher in the middle of ahostage situation and the sights of an overeager federal agent who has beentrailing Owen for months, he intervenes in a desperate split-second decision.Owen's old life is gone forever. Now he's on the run with a trio offellow crusaders, all fighting for a better world but now labeled as terroristsby the government. Disparate people on all sides, each convinced they'reright - and doing the right thing -- are now spinning towards each otherin an inexorable spiral ofviolence.
