Confronted by injustice at every turn -- assassinations, widespread racial discrimination, the escalation of the Vietnam War, the Kent State shootings -- he grows increasingly frustrated by his inability to make things right.

Although Brad's behavior appears to be beyond reproach, Parker can't let go of the feeling that something is off about him. How far will Brad go to avenge the injustices he sees?
