Mira Bunting is a subversive who launched Birnam Wood, a ragtag group of activists who plant crops in unused land, often illegally, and distribute the results equitably. Their anemic acts of rebellion desperately need an infusion of the one thing they want to avoid: money. When billionaire Robert Lemoine funds their endeavors with an agenda of his own, the uneasy bed companions must play nice. But not everyone toes the line, especially Anthony Gallo, a struggling writer who sniffs shady goings-on unfolding. A taut pulse-pounding story of the various shades of greed that will likely lead to our collective downfall.
