Pastor John Wilson has quite an agenda set for the small desert town of Liberty. He hopes to assert his influence on the local public school district. He desires to change the way a local tradition, the Goat-Roping Contest, is celebrated. He also wants to keep the local desert safe from terrorists in search of uranium and so he organizes parishioners to keep a vigilant watch for suspicious activity. The good pastor’s ambitions could impact the lives of even those outside of his flock if he has his way.Patrick, James, and Sawyer are boys who live in Liberty. Patrick was sent to live with his uncle, who is a teacher in Liberty, because he got into too much trouble in the city and was too much for his mother to handle. Almost immediately he and a classmate, James, find themselves in a lot of trouble with their teacher and with the school counselor, who just happens to be a member of Pastor Wilson’s church. Sawyer’s mother recently joined Pastor Wilson’s congregation and he is anxious that her recently acquired religious fervor could spell the end of all the fun in his life. All three boys hope to participate in the upcoming annual Goat-Roping Contest, but they fear that Pastor Wilson might keep them from enjoying the event.Will Pastor Wilson win this small town culture war or will the boys be able to enjoy all that Liberty has to offer? Join friends Sawyer, James, and Patrick, along with several other friends, as they live through and are impacted by this political battle quietly unfolding around them.
