Joe, a disciplined and compassionate paramedic with a military background, had always followed orders. He witnessed the trials and horrors of civilian life daily, sometimes watching people die before his eyes or experiencing the miracle of bringing someone back from the brink of death. However, nothing could have prepared him for the carnage that would ensue when he was forced to turn his attention to the deadly world of 21st-century politics.
Joe had survived life on the front lines as a soldier and understood that people were rarely entirely good or bad. He realized that personal biases and prejudices often colored one's perspective.
Content to go with the flow and live a quiet life, everything changed when he met the love of his life, Emma Lomax. Her vibrant spirit and sense of purpose compelled him to become more involved and question the decisions made by those in power that so adversely affected the lives of ordinary people.
