Description
Barton Dawes finds his life irrevocably disrupted when a new highway project threatens to obliterate his home and livelihood. As the relentless march of progress bears down on his neighborhood, a profound change ignites within him, pushing him to the brink of rebellion. Dawes is no longer willing to surrender his world without a fierce and explosive fight against the bureaucratic forces determined to tear it all down. This gripping narrative explores themes of resistance, the human cost of development, and the desperate measures one man will take to protect what he holds dear.
