LONG PATH TO PEACE

An innocent guy evades a “death-in-custody” at the hands of a drug-lord’s dirty-cop partner by escaping into the wilderness, where he saves an immortal Guide from a guilt-fueled nightmare.

The gritty, crime-ridden underworld of Chicago is home to ruthless gangs, vicious drug cartels, and let’s hope, only the occasional crooked cop. Friends are few and acts of love and kindness are but precious memories for our young Protagonist. In stark contrast to this “hell on Earth”, is the wilderness of the north-west where Sam is hidden away for his protection. There’s a stillness where the wild things grow; a sense of peace and clarity – in the forest and in the hearts and minds – two-legged and four-legged, who call this place “home” and Sam longs for it. But that respite from violence is short-lived and like the dark clouds of a gathering storm, those with evil intent who he’d left behind, are coming.
