Based on the author’s experiences as a soldier in Afghanistan, this novel explores questions of masculinity and militarism, friendship and loss, violence and trauma, and ideology and innocence, tracing teenager Plinko’s journey from basic military training in Saskatchewan, to high school and the reserves in Edmonton, and, after 9/11, to the battlefields of Kandahar, and then to the oil fields of Alberta.
