Jack Michaels and Sarah Garvey stand in stark contrast to the coddled college students whose academic experience rarely intersects with brutal reality. Twenty years after the devastating 1967 Detroit riots, they are recruited by their advisor to secure evidence disputing the official findings of the Kerner Commission of 43 deaths. Their innocent inquiry triggers a barrage of bizarre life-threatening events from a cabal of prominent city officials determined to conceal their misdeeds; a wealthy sociopath, who considers violence an aphrodisiac; and, an elusive serial killer hell bent on revenge for disturbing his lair. The trio unleash a torrent of indiscriminate violence resulting in multiple murders, assaults, kidnapping, rape and arson.Distrustful of the police, Jack enlists the aid of his fellow Dearborn Beer Distributor warehouse workers. A rag-tag group of misfits better suited as circus roustabouts than professional sentinels: Roy Blue, an ex-con former gang leader, now head hi-lo driver and professional gambler; Jimmy Pepatino, foreman and retired semi-pro hockey player who still sports his stolen No. 9 Red Wings hockey jersey, roller-blades and stick, as everyday attire; Max Torpo, forklift operator and former Vietnam tunnel rat, still suffering with PTSD; and, Rodeo, the mechanic, who is just plain insane.Hilarious unconventional methods are employed to liberate their "college boy" buddy and his sweetheart in a roller-coaster thrill ride of death and destruction.
