Saving western democracy is a tall order if you can't save yourself.

Jordy Young's best friend is killed at a protest. Revenge is on his mind, his girlfriend dumps him, lockdown isolates him, and social unrest leads him to a chance meeting with the insightful and foul-mouthed Daryl Jones. Together, they form a group of eclectic individuals on a journey to find truth, purpose, love, and personal meaning in a world where they appear forgotten. Jordy and Daryl lead the group into trouble, and in Jordy's case, to the point of murder. The 'Sideliners' discover more than they bargained for and inadvertently ignite a common-sense social movement. Change for the better comes with a hefty price.


Jordy Young's frustrations are compounded as millions are in lockdown, with millions more taking to the streets to protest social issues. People blindly follow along, but those, like Jordy, with inquisitive minds, seek truthful good intentions. Jordy is isolated by pandemic restrictions, suffering from the tragic loss of his best friend (killed at a protest) and dumped by antagonistic ex-girlfriend Trixie. Jordy takes uncharacteristic steps into the unknown. He is soon accompanied by Daryl Jones, a black construction worker with a volatile mouth and temper; Martine Oliveira, a highly emotional transgender Brazilian woman who has yet to complete her final transformative surgery; Linford Jackson, his maniacal mailman; Kira Kashani, a fiercely opinionated Persian go-getter. They feel forgotten, misunderstood, and exhausted by never-ending polarized opinions. The 'Sideliners' find themselves bonded in friendship and more as they seek to bring civil discourse and common sense back into everyday use. The Sideliners conflict with fellow protestors resulting in unexpected transformations, shocking truths revealed, and individual struggles exploding in violence, love and reconciliation.
