Synopsis

Devin Moore broke 'The Law' in this dystopia set in the not-too-distant future. For his crime, he is exiled from the last free colony of Goldstein, Alaska. His journey into fascist Amerika is an odyssey of chaos, delusion, and violence. Devin experiences firsthand the ravages of hyperinflation, the mind-numbing holovision, the omnipresent surveillance and the imperious nanny-state . The Land of the Free had become a serfdom where you have nothing to worry about if you are being good . But Devin could not embrace the role of gelded rebel and his exile becomes a mission of self-discovery. Pursued by the arrogant, leathery-faced Director Morgenthau and his vicious minions seeking to hotwire his brain, Devin contemplates making a mysterious Delivery that will exonerate him and allow him to return home...to GOLDSTEIN.
