Overwhelming Force

How long can people stand injustice, how many times must we see the evidence of hatred and violence, and how far can you be pushed before you fight back? Systematic racism has corrupted the city of Pleasant Oaks and the police force harass and profile the residents of The Meadows, a mostly black apartment complex in the white suburban city. When an officer kills one of the residents the men of The Meadows decide to fight back. Bedlam erupts in the street and everyone begins to take sides, from a drug kingpin to a police officer to the residents themselves. Overwhelming Force takes you deep into the heart of a problem as real as Ferguson and as chilling as a Stephen King novel.
