A cold, dry Santa Ana wind blew that day; news headlines suggested that the great financial meltdown and subsequent recession were getting worse; racial strife with political activists on both sides was becoming violent---a nation on the brink with California at its epicenter.
Enter Sean Kirkpatrick, a dedicated social worker for the county of Los Angeles who has only one ambition: to serve the downtrodden of the world. But it's not until Sean's fiancee, Megan O'Riley, turns his marital plans upside down, causing a butterfly effect of events in Sean's life, prodding him toward a path of denial and realization.
With a newfound mix of friends and lovers, enemies and geopolitical players, Sean Kirkpatrick, noble public servant, finds himself ensnared within a labyrinth of social uprising as well as the upper echelons of wealth and treacherous power.
A gripping, coming-of-age story that pits man against the world---revealing, with satirical flare, the clandestine world we all live in.
The perfect chemistry of political thriller and comedic romance.
