There’s a war raging—not just in America, but around the world. A war on reson. A war on facts. A war on science.

In this battle, truth is losing ground.

⏵ Schoolkids are being taught conspiracy theories instead of science or history.

⏵ Diseases long thought eradicated are making a comeback.

⏵ During a global pandemic, hundreds of thousands died unnecessarily—not from the virus alone, but from the plague of misinformation.

⏵ Museums are being “sanitized” so as not to offend.

⏵ And research satellites are being scuttled in order to suppress data that could prove inconvenient to certain political agendas.

Welcome to the front lines.

In the small Illinois town of Batshit (yes, it’s really called that—pronounced baht-SHEET), high schooler Timothy Thompson has had enough. When a teacher at his school starts pushing “alternative facts” in the classroom, Timothy vows to bring back real science—no matter the cost.

But standing up for truth in Batshit means going head-to-head with everyone from religious fanatics to clueless school officials.

Religion vs. science. Fact vs. fiction. One small town becomes ground zero in the fight for the future.
