Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

This social satire pokes fun at the white supremacist groups that inhabit the rural Midwest. The story centers on Dale, an aging hippie first seen sucking on a bong during a party in Colorado. He must return to his native Nebraska after he learns that the local thugs have injured his grandfather. Upon his arrival, Dale discovers the townsfolk have become the serfs of the despot Duke Davidson, a super right-wing reactionary who has taken over the town. It is Davidson's ultimate goal to overtake the entire US government, and for a start he has placed computer chips in the heads of all the locals so that he can effectively brainwash them into eradicating anyone who isn't white, Christian, or ultra-conservative. Now it is up to Dale, and CIA agent Debra, who has zero respect for Dale at first, to save the town and vanquish the tyrant.
