Suppose you were the most dangerous and decorated Navy SEAL ever and saw your career, your family, and even your home savagely destroyed by the greed of four men at the top of four mega corporations? Suppose you now had to live in the gutter - with nothing but time on your hands - and knew you were one of the most highly trained and lethal covert operators on the planet?Would you sit still?

Combining the satirical sting of Gulliver's Travels with the anti-establishment crew of The Monkey Wrench Gang and seasoning it all with lively wit and a setting that is in itself a font of comedy -- the City of Malibu -- Stansfield has crafted a compelling tale of hard luck and just desserts.D.Paul Yeuell, Hollywood screenwriter and directo
