Six simple words set Jake on a collision course with his past. Jake has spent the last couple years keeping his head down and avoiding trouble. He’s been travelling the country, trying to leave just enough of a trail to keep Delora on his tail and away from Beth, while staying one step ahead of his brunos.
But the country is in turmoil, and the unemployed men in the work camps are getting tired of being treated like prisoners and outcasts. Revolution is brewing, and Jake finds himself in the middle of the battle.
As more and more men gather to the strike in Vancouver, Jake knows Delora will be looking for him there, but he can’t stand by and watch when he has a chance to be part of something that could change all their fortunes. When the On-to-Ottawa trek sets out on the cross-country journey to the nation’s capital, Jake finds himself on a trail that will not only put him back in Delora’s sights but will land him in Regina where old enemies are waiting to clean up loose ends.
The tenuous threads that Jake is trying to hold together begin to unravel, and Jake learns that no matter how hard he tries, the past refuses to stay buried.
