Days Captive

Journalist Nick Hillyer is asked to write about a friend found in a ditch in the philippines with the back of his head blown off. There is much at stake. The deceased was a hero of unprecedented magnitude and his fall from grace was epochal. Desperate for work and wracked by guilt, Nick knows that by accepting the assignment he will be forced to reassess his behind-the-scenes involvement in a story that shook the globe and altered the lives of millions. Thrust back into a kaleidoscope of horror that continues to snowball out of all proportion, he will re-enter a world where violence, apathy and terror are seen as the only salvation.

Why do people do terrible things? Where do the boundaries of deceit and desperation lie? The answers are rooted in the beliefs that hold us captive.
