For the Greater Good

Justice. Law. Fairness. What do those words convey? Their definitions became more fluid with each passing year. By the year 2027, society stopped trying to form a consensus regarding their meanings. With little concern for these terms, six strangers fell victim to their application. They were simply people, focused on climbing their individual ladders. Sam wanted a promotion. Maureen desired a new home. George craved a peaceful household, and Ella strive to right the wrongs of her past. Harvey’s goal was a memorable birthday celebration for his wife. And the only thing Wanda wanted was to gain favor in her father’s eyes. They wanted ordinary things. But they were each willing to go to extraordinary lengths to achieve their goals. What they got instead of success was the long arm of the law. These six were strangers until becoming acquainted through the bars of their jail cells. Why, you ask? Because concepts like justice, law, and fairness dissolved into history. A history that had long since been removed from textbooks and libraries. Can they overcome the new definitions of the laws to reclaim their lives? Will these strangers turn into friends, enemies, or collaborators? How will their newfound relationships impact their futures, and more importantly, society as a whole?
