In opposition to the United States government’s war in Vietnam, teenager Scottie Bronson sent them a message to convince them to end it: he blew up a weapons factory. No one was supposed to die, but Scottie’s plan went horribly wrong.

 

On the run and on America’s Most Wanted list, Scottie hides away in a quiet basement apartment in Toronto’s east end. But the past always catches up to us, and those closest to us. It’s only a matter of time before the flames of Scottie’s bomb engulf him to. The clock is ticking in Colleen Isherwood’s explosive debut novel.
