The Hangman's Apprentice spans the birth and evolution of the Equality Party of Canada--from the concept of Absolute Democracy, a form of democracy where Government is abolished and citizens vote on laws and legislation over the internet--to the violent uprising that tears a nation apart. The Hangman's Apprentice is a revolution of thoughts and ideals. It is the story of a country divided by those fighting for the power to run their own own lives, versus those fighting to cling onto the power they fear to lose.
