Homegrown terrorists band together and move from innocence to angst, then on to freedom again in this struggle for legal and social fairness in 2000 America. The problem: politicians still have not separated soft drugs from hard drugs, resulting in asinine mandatory minimum sentencing laws that are corrupting greedy local police and prosecutors. Good people are being jailed, and assets belonging to otherwise upstanding citizens are being wrongfully seized.Victor Stamate is a highly-decorated Vietnam veteran and muscle car collector. He's picked up by the Feds for growing weed on his Minnesota River bluff property, but nearly two years after he'd already been fined and put on probation by Bunyan County, Minnesota. A case of double jeopardy? Not in this drug case. His beautiful wife, Jade, and two close friends must work to free him. Buck Foster is a wannabe stand-up comedian and Charlie (Charleen) Pierce is the adventurous narrator of this story. They have a hard time figuring out just whom they can and cannot trust as they go about trying to rescue their friend. When a bomb threat doesn't work to get Victor released, they hatch a bolder plan -- a ransom for justice.
