William Defreno is down on his luck and himself. Maybe it`s that he lives in a town seemingly owned by a rich man, Randy Casner, who has the police in his pocket, infinite resources, and doesn`t care who he destroys in order to get his own way.
The dreadful Personal War starts when Randy runs William down with his Hummer, breaking the young track star`s leg in a rage of general lunacy and resentment for William`s track talent. William tries to pursue Mr. Casner legally, and discovers the full extent of this man`s power. Everything starts to down-spiral from there.
The local police begin to systematically harass him - trying to get him fired from his job, arrest him for any and every reason possible and ruin any chance of William having a relationship of any kind. The more William tries to fight back, the worse the warfare gets.
By the time William wants to quit the Personal War, it`s too late. He is forced to engage in battle against Mr. Casner who is clearly superior to him in every way. With a little help from his friends, William, `the underdog` must find the willpower and strength within to save himself.
"Yes, people love an underdog, but they always bet against him..." William Defreno
