Ben Campbell, 17, is angry. Angry at having to live in
a broken-down trailer park. Angry that his unemployed dad isn't a
respected ranch boss any more. Angry at having to defend his
exasperating younger brother, David. Most of all, angry at the rich
kids at school who seem to get away with everything. Only when he's
out with Chuck and Travis, burning a Jew lawyer's car or shooting up
a synagogue, does he feel powerful and in control again.
It
was his dad who got them all going to the meetings of the Guardians
of the Identity, where Lonn explained how all their troubles were
because of the Jews and the blacks and the homosexuals, and how they
had to keep those people from moving into their little Montana town.
Ben knows that isn't right, but still, he needs to feel that power.
But when he falls in love with Eden Taylor he knows he wants to move
beyond Lonn's ideas, and when David gets involved in his place, Ben
realizes he must take a stand.
