Defector is a story about a musical prodigy who uses his gift to glorify God in man rather than the communist state in which he lives. On the centennial celebration of the revolution, Vulcan returns from the wilderness and publicly defies the totalitarian ruler by declaring that man’s worth is based on God rather than his usefulness to the state. The state begins a massive manhunt for Vulcan while he goes town to town spreading the message that man is more than a submissive citizen, but rather a living image of God. Drawing on Biblical themes, Defector is about what happens when a nation erases the individual, and what happens when an individual refuses to be erased.
