Husband, father, house painter, and warrior poet Johnny Williams looks forward to his son Jeff’s return as a navigator for the United States Air Force. But Johnny’s pride in his son’s achievement takes an uncharted turn when Jeff comes home and the family discovers the results of his education. And when Mattie the matriarch of the Williams family learns another lethal fact, things begin to unravel. The re-entrance of Mo Jeff’s life long friend, and Mo’s militant followers, with their current take on how to wage “The Revolution” compounds the already heightened tension in the Williams home. The stakes are very high, life and death but the family is armed with love, devotion, loyalty, and the martial spirit to fight the good fight.
