Description
"As a kid, Cody had an idyllic life in small-town America. He was a popular boy who excelled at running and loved deeply his girlfriend, Jazzie. But just when Cody thinks life is great, fate takes an unexpected and horrible turn. Devastated by this, and the subsequent attacks of 9/11, Cody joins the Army thinking he'll avenge the wrongs done to his country by fighting in Afghanistan. Instead, he is sent to Iraq where he learns that the war is about oil even as he is forced to kill on behalf of his country. He returns home a changed man and moves in with a left-wing high-powered attorney who pursues cases against the oil and gas industries. Over the years, this man educates Cody about his work and beliefs. Cody begins to believe climate change will, in the end, kill more people than even Hitler did, and that there is no political solution. Traumatized by the war and indoctrinated with a set of radical beliefs, he concludes he must kill the people responsible for climate change. He draws up list of targets and plans his travels to kill them. On the eve of setting out to assassinate these men, Cody meets a beautiful woman - first woman he's had feelings for since Jazzie. And so he leaves for his mission conflicted, believing he'll likely die in pursuit of his goals, and this just as he first wishes to live again."
