Creator Paul Chadwick draws on his own real-life Hollywood experiences for this story in which Concrete joins the effects crew of The Rulers of the Omniverse. Alliances are forged and broken, egos are bruised, millions of dollars are spent, and somehow a movie is made. But for Concrete the real concern is whether someone is trying to sabotage his performance - and if they are, will his failure result in somebody's death?

Most of us have trouble enough just getting by. We never know how far we'd go for our beliefs. But environmental-minded Concrete faces just that when he's lured to the Pacific Northwest by a small group from Earth First! These are the guerillas of the environmental movement. They resist, blockade, and sometimes monkeywrench, wrecking equipment worth millions. They also spike trees. Concrete would be the ultimate monkeywrencher if he can be persuaded -- or manipulated -- into crossing the line. And he can. This six-part series explores the history of Earth First! and the moral questions it raises in a heady mix of suspense, humor, sexual tension, and painless dollops of natural history.

It seemed so harmless at first. Concrete was just going to observe a group of Earth First!ers -- to see firsthand what they were all about and to write about their efforts to save an old-growth forest. But that was before the group talked Concrete into illegally entering Canada, and before they decided to "monkey-wrench" some logging equipment, and before the owners of that equipment unexpectedly showed up. Now it's up to Concrete to save them all -- even if it means risking his own life.

The water in Puget Sound is pretty opaque -- a good thing for Concrete, who was forced to dive in to avoid a bunch of irate loggers. He's in Canada illegally traveling with a pack of Earth First!ers, and if he's seen he could be connected to those left-wing environmentalists and the property destruction they've caused. But that was the problem that caused him to jump. Now his problem is getting out of the Sound, finding the First!ers, and making his way back to America -- unseen.

Faced with the overwhelming evidence of humankind's wounding of Mother Earth, can Concrete continue to merely observe and chronicle the group's activities? Or will he abandon his passivity and embrace his new friends' militant agenda?

It seems like exciting and righteous work. And then the men with the rifles show up...
