In a time in the not-too-distant future, where mankind had all-but-used-up the earth's fuels and commodities and people's living standards had plummeted back to more than a century ago, comes a story of one man's fight for survival.
Danny Pruitt was an ordinary family man trying to eke out a living in the harshest of times but when a visit from overzealous police turned deadly, Danny's life was turned upside down. With no choice but to escape corrupt authorities, he flees to the nearby mountains and soon finds an unlikely haven in the forest.
With a bounty on his head and trying to elude his relentless pursuers, he embarks on a journey of love, mateship, betrayal, tragedy, murder, infidelity and revenge whilst fighting his inner torment and whatever nature's fury can throw at him. Will he fulfil his quest to reunite with his cherished wife and two young sons and find freedom at his northern tropical property named Heaven, or will the deeds of his committed sins condemn him to Hell?
