Summer's break from the many days of gloom shows the Emerald City in her full glory. Tourists and locals alike take full advantage of the sunshine. There are concerts in the parks and garlic fries at Safeco Field. There's snow during the summer up at Paradise, 360° views from atop the Needle, and exciting races at Sea Fair. But not for James Maly, he is too busy; working. But things are about to change quickly; unforeseen events, and unbearable discoveries, lead James to understand what he is caught up in. Then, with James's discovery, he has to decide if he is caught up in the event as a mere witness...a sheep? Or can he do something about it, take an active part in his defense...and be a sheepdog? As his day is crushed in the grip of a nightmare, James realizes he must choose if he will stand up for what he believes in. Or will he crawl into someplace and hide. Circumstances will require the average and the gifted, the deceptive and the truthful to make some sort of stand. For their beliefs...for their future ...for their lives.
