Mild-mannered newspaperman Stanley T. Branford plays by the rules. He worries about his children, about global warming, about being a good husband and father.
Then Stanley comes home to find his daughter sitting at the computer in tears, stunned by a relentless slideshow of internet pornography. “What is all this, Daddy?” she cries as she runs from the house.
By the time Stanley’s wife gets home an hour later, his marriage is all but over. His bank accounts and credit cards have been hijacked by a faceless criminal who seems determined to destroy Stanley’s life, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. By the next afternoon he is in state prison, framed in the theft of millions of dollars and unable to make bail. In less than 24 hours he has been abandoned by friends, family, and everyone he knows. Everyone but Amy Tuckerman, a young protege of his who has her own reasons for believing in his integrity.
Steve Holt is the former fiction editor of the Harvard Advocate.
