Brian Brample and his friends were finishing off their high school careers caring more about their weekend paintball games than the world that surrounded them. But an overseas war that United States allies are losing causes the government to bring back the draft in attempt to get the situation under control. Brian and some of his friends become the unlucky few who are conscripted to serve in a war that has a near 100% mortality rate.

In protest, they decide to control their own fate by engaging in a mass suicide. The message is clear, the youth of the nation are willing to die for their causes, not Washington’s. But, Brian Brample survives and those in Washington D.C. believe they have just found their scapegoat.

Now living through a never-ending onslaught of litigation Brian becomes the most infamous man in America. His friends and family abandon him one by one. The only people left in his life are his cellmates and his opportunistic legal counsel. When does a boy deserve help and when does he become the unfixable monster?
