Might of the New World

Although years have passed, the experience of war weighs heavily on the veterans who live in the small New England mill town. A chronicle of the long shadow cast by WWII, the story shows the impact on the lives of the men and their families. Outward optimists, the men came home after winning the great crusade, the most terrible of wars. The town retooled for peace, each man made a life and the horror of what they had seen, and done, was stored in their hearts. A survivor of the Bataan Death March, a tank driver who liberated a concentration camp, an MIA soldier who walked in on his own funeral - friends and neighbors all. But a hunter also lived among them, motivated by hateful belief to carry out an order delivered nearly 20 years before. When a harmless, silent outcast is slaughtered, the men must deal with this assault out of the past. Ultimately, they learn the great secret the victim harbored.
