Ben Trinity was caught up in a blizzard storm in the town of
Redemption at the state of Montana. Thus he was unable to report to the
location his parole officer planned for him. He was imprisoned in Tallahasee
for aiding terrorists bomb the Amtrak train where trucks containing poisonous
gasses swept into the wind killing 97 people. A wealthy man in his days living
off a trust fund provided by his wealthy father, he was a college professor
when he met his lovely wife who apparently is a Middle-east immigrant who has a
French citizenship. They go to the Middle-east set-up a foundation to give them
medicine. But her wife’s brother is the suspected leader of the terrorist group
who bombed the Amtrak. They were indicted. Ben was sent to jail and was wired
with a microchip so he cannot get close to electronics or else he gets a shock.
Her wife was executed by a man supposedly his brother. Ben has trade skills so
Carlene the owner of the main restaurant in Redemption offered him a job. Her
daughter George, a divorced mother of a fourteen year old Amy, would become
close to him as they know him better. The town policemen Luke Jensen, George’s
ex-husband, eyes Ben closely even as the Indian Dennis Red Wolf keeps them
balanced. There was trouble everywhere Ben went so when the FBI stepped in to
meddle, they do not know is the bad guy. Ben was exonerated on the charges and
phoned George the good news. He came home to Redemption.
I give it 4 out of 5 stars. Lee Jackson is as good as
advertised. You know like Russell Hitchcock he knows how to suspend narratives
and master the prose. There are scenes that jolted me but that’s the
purpose. I would say they edited the story in the movie Lucky One starring Zac Efron.
