A mission to avenge the senseless deaths of innocent
people is the driving force behind the murderous rampage of
wealthy business owners. Taylor Hayes, a psychology
graduate student, was born of white parents, but adopted
and raised by Native Americans. He, along with Elijah and
Keith, set out to rid the community of the people
responsible for the deaths of Taylor's adoptive parents and
others who died from some type of poisoning at Kickingbird,
the housing unit where they lived. Taylor, being the
dedicated student that he is, is also using the killings as
an experiment on human behavior and is compiling research
for his psychology thesis.
The one constant in Taylor's life is his girlfriend, Wendy
Ralston. Also completing her degree, she's employed part-
time at a local bank. Her boss, Kyle Gayland, is known on
the surface as being a good humanitarian and very giving to
minorities. But little do they know that he's harboring a
dark past of greed and deceit. For one thing, he's holding
Wendy's parent's mortgage over her head in order to keep
her working for him. Taylor doesn't trust him, not only
because he tried to seduce Wendy, but he believes Gayland
is responsible for the deaths of his parent's and sets out
to prove it.
Things do begin to come together when someone spots Gayland
at Redtree, another housing unit where people are
mysteriously becoming ill. Experienced detective Stan
Jennings, at this time, is just focused on the killings.
But after information comes his way about Redtree, it leads
him to Kickingbird, Kyle Gayland and then Taylor. Is there
a connection and will justice be served?
