Oliver Cash is a trapped man. Not in the physical sense, but more in a spiritual, emotional one. Having once been a God-fearing, family oriented individual, a grave miscalculation ultimately destroys him: the publishing of his controversial book 2025. Oliver had been warned not to release it, for in doing so he’d no doubt infuriate the liberal readership. Yet he had, and they swiftly took retribution upon him.
Escaping death, Oliver is nursed back to health by the same liberal state he’d so despised, this while the “Great Secession” leaves him and his family stranded in the newly formed Liberal Regions across what was once America. While living in these Regions Oliver and his family must learn political correctness while adapting to insidious laws where morality has all but been cast askance.
And so, after his long rehabilitation, and subsequent homecoming, Oliver loses his family, all due to the waywardness of the culture—so it seems. Despite this, Oliver fares well and goes on to live as does the elite class throughout the Regions; privileged and unconcerned as to society’s despair. For it is through his authorship that Oliver exploits the Region’s progressive agenda, and is elevated to celebrity status, far surpassing any “visions of grandeur” he’d ever had simply living as a staunch conservative.
Inevitably, however, Oliver deteriorates due to this livelihood and is ultimately confronted by his hollow achievements, forcing him to acknowledge just what he’s become . . . something that he’d always despised.
