Rip the Sky

After a shocking courtroom crime, a disturbed Vietnam veteran and the vindictive judge who sent him to prison become time travelers in a chaotic multiverse in search of their greatest life. But before they can find the happiest of all worlds, they must first return to the scene of a ghastly crime.

Billy Worster is a naïve teenager ill-prepared for the gruesome realities of war, when he is the sole survivor of a deadly massacre in a Vietnamese jungle, avoiding his certain death only because he runs away when the shooting starts. Riddled with guilt, he returns home to a dusty Texas farm with post-traumatic stress disorder and the crazy notion that he can fly in and out of parallel worlds.

As Billy struggles with addiction and questions his sanity, he is arrested on a drug charge and ends up in the courtroom of Judge Madeline Johnston, a bitter old judge tormented by a dark secret surrounding her father’s death. She callously tosses Billy into prison, but when a greedy executor files a lawsuit to steal his inherited land, Billy is hauled back to her courtroom in chains, where a stunning twist of fate launches them into the sky on an odyssey of discovery and healing.
