Are some lives worth more than others? The town of Pensacola, Florida, is about to be set alight by the fiercest of battles: a struggle that pits the law of God against the law of the land, and the right to life against the right to choose. On one side of the city stands the May Lake abortion clinic, on the other the headquarters of the pro-life extremists Operation Freedom. As clinics are torched upstate and the number of terminations rises, the two sides are set to collide with potentially murderous consequences. A gripping play that looks at the irreconcilable differences that simmer beneath the surface of a liberal society.
