Synopsis

The city's Highway 784 extension is being constructed right through every aspect of Bart Dawes's existence -- his home, his neighborhood, and the plant where he works. But something's happening inside his head, a complete and irrevocable burnout of the mental circuit breaker that keeps a mild-mannered person like Bart from turning to violent means.โ€ฆ
