This novel follows Charlie Blyer, a college baseball player and diehard San Francisco Giants fan who embarks on a solo road trip to visit major league ballparks across the country. What begins as a coming-of-age journey—meant to heal a broken heart and clarify his future—quickly turns dark.
Charlie realizes he may be one of the last people to have seen a powerful corporate executive alive after spotting him at a Giants game. Soon after, the man is brutally murdered in his home. As more killings surface, it becomes clear that these deaths are not random but connected to a shadowy campaign tied to environmental exploitation, corporate greed, and vigilante justice.
