The Rupture is about the crazy times we live in: current history. As well, it is
about the tenth anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre and the
gruesome carnage that is being planned in celebration of that incident; what
was then the unimaginable mass murder which occurred on April 20, 1999.
In this respect, it is also about the making of a monster.

The story follows the lives of two families, the Mendez and the Phylers,
from 1957 through 2009. Over the course of these 52 years their lives will
occasionally intersect as they experience the progression of American culture
from differing perspectives. They will witness 1950s affluence, the Free
Speech Movement, the Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations, the
Civil Rights Movement, Wars and war protests, 9-11, Gay Rights, the struggle
for Gender equality, space exploration and unimaginable technological
advancements, love and hate, and the perils of those fluctuating tides and
economic oscillations. They will witness the best and worst inclinations of their
species until they collide and intertwine on that fateful day, April 20, 2009.
