Abstract
The story concerns the cultural aftershocks which tear apart a small British Columbia town in the wake of a schoolbus accident which leaves a number of local children dead. Mitchell Stephens is a big-city lawyer who arrives in the interest of uniting the survivors to initiate a lawsuit but his maneuvering only drives the community further apart, reopening old wounds and jeopardizing any hopes of emotional recovery.
