An overseas war is going badly.
With casualties mounting and America's allies on the brink of defeat, the United States government makes a controversial decision: reinstate the military draft.
For Brian Brample and his friends, the war feels distant and meaningless. They are teenagers focused on graduation, friendship, and weekend paintball games-not dying on a foreign battlefield with a near-certain mortality rate.
Faced with conscription, they make a shocking choice. If they are going to die, they will die on their own terms.
But when the planned mass suicide goes horribly wrong, Brian becomes the lone survivor.
Suddenly, he finds himself at the center of a national firestorm. Politicians need someone to blame. The media needs a villain. Protesters need a symbol. As lawsuits, criminal investigations, and public outrage consume his life, Brian discovers that surviving may be far worse than dying.
Abandoned by friends, betrayed by family, and trapped in a system desperate for a scapegoat, Brian must confront a question that divides an entire nation:
When does a victim become a monster?
A gripping thriller about politics, responsibility, and the devastating consequences of survival.
