Young, lean, and strong, Devin Moore is a loner, yet mentally tough. He'll have to prove just how tough he is when he's exiled from Goldstein, Alaska, in a rickety rowboat; he'll be lucky to survive. The harsh sentence is for breaking "The Law." The only law in this secluded and autonomous colony in the not-too-distant future is "thou shall not steal."

Grateful for not being executed on the spot, Moore accepts his sentence and navigates his way through fascist Amerika-a land populated by serfs where it's the land of free food, free rent, and free money. Embarking on a mission of self-discovery, he experiences firsthand the ravages of hyperinflation, corporatism, endless war, and a brutal police state tyranny.

With agents of the National Police quickly closing in, Moore contemplates making a mysterious "delivery" that will pardon him and allow him to return home to Goldstein.
