Chase Farrell is a troubled young man of color in the 1940s and 50s reaching for a life he has been told he cannot have. But he is determined to have it – one way or another. Can he scale the walls in his way to engineer a viable future, or will he end in prison, a mental institution, or at the bottom of a bridge that he himself has built? From the Black Bottom section of Detroit, to the battlefields of WWII, the streets of Monrovia, Liberia, and the fight for Civil Rights in America, Chase pursues his justice and reaps both the rewards and the costs.
