The economy of the U.S. has all but collapsed. The President is more like a king, appointed by Congress. The IRS is in charge of all law enforcement. Perry James watches as the IRS kicks in his door, takes possession of his home, and waits to arrest him. Knowing there has to be something better than prison, or a work camp, he runs. His only friend as he runs is his yellow lab Jonah. Hearing rumors of a community that might take him in Perry searches for a new home. What he finds isn't quite what he expects but with new friends and a special girl it might turn out to be ok. If they can keep from being killed.
