Aaron Pike is a walking nightmare. Mia Armstrong is his dream come true.
Aaron is a leader and proud white nationalist from Alabama. He considers himself an activist and purist for the white race in America and offers no pretenses or excuses for his controversial views, affiliations, and violent behavior. Despite the stereotypes, Aaron is not only exceptionally intelligent, but also occasionally charming when he sees fit. He has the power to disturb and fluster with merely a look. Now he is looking out from behind bars, serving a stint for nearly beating a man to death.
While in prison, the recidivist Aaron believes that he will serve his time and be right back out on the front lines of the movement. However, fate ushers him down a different path altogether. His friends may just be his enemies, and who to trust is no longer so black and white. The Holman Correctional Facility prison psychiatrist asks Mr. Pike to participate in a pen pal program. Aaron, through reluctant therapy sessions, is also forced to delve deep within himself, and discuss in detail situations regarding not only his unsettling past, but his not so clear future. He's forced to confront his biggest internal demons, and now his back is against the wall.
Mia Armstrong wants a bright future for everyone. She's an optimistic elementary schoolteacher who's heart is as kind as her words. She has a deep desire to serve mankind, especially those whom society has crossed out. She volunteers at the local penitentiary and is asked to help spread the word about a prison pen pal program. In that process, she corresponds with Aaron under an alias, and before long, the two hit it off, and fall in love. Only there is one problem...
Mia Armstrong is African American.
