There's a war in the sleepy streets of Westford, Kansas. Bullying starts as small incidents but grows into real crimes incrementally. The price we pay is their loss of our children's humanity. Finding justice gives them back what has been taken from them. Conversely prolonged injustice strips people of empathy, leading them to violence. Children are the losers on both sides of this equation. How far would you go to find justice? Elaine Riyuki saw the constant injustice of bullying kill one of her classmates. One tormentor arranged to have pictures taken of her and posted on-line, shaming her and leading her to thoughts of suicide. The school chose to do nothing about it. Robbie Turner, son of a fallen soldier, also bears the burden of injustice, his life at school becoming a hellhole while his mother and most of the students in his school lose hope. There's little chance of ever leaving their impoverished upbringing. Together they have a plan. One knows how to execute it. The other knows where the resources and skills are. Who's their enemy? It's more than just the bullies of their own generation, but the school and also the town who created them, allowing them to persist. As in all wars, they are fought by our children.
