Delaware has lost two of its crown jewels: its precious Rehoboth Beach, as well as its gargantuan retail paradise. What can two university students, Juneau and Victor, do to save a people in crisis?

The DuFrond company takes advantage of this movement for Delawarean independence to install a Reverend Bridge in power, a theocratic dictator who purports to represent the peoples' interests while merely promoting large companies' abilities to exploit their workers. Dismayed by the damage their political movement has caused, Juneau and Victor embark on a pilgrimage around their home state, now home nation, to grapple with their past and peer into the future. On the way, Victor meets an Israeli soldier, Raphael, whose nation has come to support the Delawarean cause against the Imperialist Giant of the United States of America, and the two manage to fight their own internal demons to live a brief but deeply passionate romantic love.
