A warning by an anonymous caller that "nothing is as it seems" sets reporter Jack Flynn on the trail of the truth, a trail that takes him first to a militia compound in Idaho and then to a workingman's bar in Boston before he realizes that the answers are hidden much closer to home.

But in an election year when the candidates compete to see who can put the voters to sleep first, may whet the appetites of a few political junkies.
