In a future America ruled by strict government control, historian Joel Levine’s job is to remind the nation of its past sins in the Sino-American War.
Tasked with interviewing the last surviving Marine veteran, Sean Harris—a prisoner serving life—Joel expects a routine account.

As Joel listens, doubt begins to creep in, challenging everything he thought he knew about his country and his role within it.
Caught between truth and propaganda, Joel must decide whether he can accept the horrifying reality Harris describes—or continue living in a carefully crafted lie.
How far will he go to uncover the truth, and what price will he pay?
