He’s in love with the girl at the Nuevo Union food truck and is ready to graduate high school. All that’s left is to do is take his citizenship test. However, his friends start a stadium riot that accidentally kills a child. When accusations say he’s responsible for the death, he must emigrate to the Red Side. Corporations, churches, and cash seem hopeful alternatives to the ultra-conscientious etiquette he grew up with. Someone knows it won’t be. Innocence must be sacrificed to preserve A More Perfect Union.
