The protestors, who become determined to split away from American society, are led by \"Peeled Paul\" Soco, a Malpense hermit who played a key role in one of Tapia's previous investigations.

He wants to do right by Soco and the protestors, but his bosses at the Bureau are eager to please a president itching to crack down on them.
