What happens when one good-and-angry man fights back is murder—and then some.

Bart Dawes is standing in the way of progress. A new highway extension is being built right over the laundry plant where he works—and right over his home. The house he has lived in for twenty years, where he has made love with his wife, played with his son. They want to tear it down, leveling his memories and destroying his past. But before the city paves over that part of Dawes' life, he's got one more party to throw—and it'll be a blast.

Funny what that kind of progress can do to a man. Scary, too.
