Semifinalist at the Lake Travis Film Festival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>An ecology lab in a small Southern University is bombed by an unknown radical sect called the Nature Syndicate. Frank Love, the resident mollusk counter, survives to find he is the sole remaining target. His only clue is the encrypted contents of a memory stick given to him for safekeeping. Frank is determined to unravel the mystery behind explosion and find those responsible. But who are they?<\/p>\n<p>Edgefield, South Carolina&#8230; Karen rolled down the window of the big blue car, \u201cHow long can we keep this up?&#8221;<br \/>\nFrank scanned the blank highway before him. &#8220;We&#8217;ve been lucky.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They rumbled out to the highway, found SC 25 and turned south towards Augusta. Frank pushed down hard on the beast.. The hemi moaned as she sucked in the cool morning air. The big blue car tore through sheets of steam rising from the wet blacktop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can get away from all this,\u201d said Karen. \u201cA fast car. Two hundred gallons of gas in that moonshine tank in the back. That&#8217;s enough to get us all the way to California. We can leave all this behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frank&#8217;s knuckles stretched white over the wheel, \u201cThat still can be, but first there is the business at hand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou never talk about Tina.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]I&#8217;m from Belvedere, South Carolina.\u00a0 I grew up a few miles from what was called the Savanna River Plant, we called it the Bomb Plant.\u00a0 It was all secret cold war stuff out there. It wasn&#8217;t until later when we found out the were making plutonium out there. Tons of it.\u00a0 We always thought we were special until one day the idea came that the reason we were so lucky was that it had been determined if the place blew up the country would only lose Augusta and a rather large number if pine trees.<\/p>\n<p>Then the long term consequences of 20 years of making the bad stuff came to roost.
