Karl was born in Omaha, Nebraska, to an alcoholic mother. His
father was already dead from cirrhosis of the liver. Disillusioned
and emotionally scarred from his mother's drinking, he leaves home
at the tender age of eleven for life on the streets. After his
second arrest at age fourteen, Karl is sent to a detention center
to serve his time and ends up killing a fellow inmate in
self-defense. When he is released from state custody,
seventeen-year-old Karl meets a group of white supremacists,
Soldiers of the Brigade, who accept him and make him feel like part
of a family.
A native of Buffalo, New York, Elizabeth is a librarian at the
Omaha Public Library. When Karl comes to the library looking for a
racist book, she tries to gently guide him to see the error of his
ways and the brainwashing that he has been exposed to. But can the
kindness of this young, trusting, and open-minded librarian bring
Karl back to his senses?
When Elizabeth invites Karl to a performance by a talented
Jewish violinist, she may be inadvertently setting the stage for an
attack orchestrated by the Soldiers of the Brigade, unless Karl can
stop his racist brothers .
