Dane Barton, a twenty-two-year-old college dropout, languishes in a dead-end job at a twenty-four-hour convenience store. An only child of Milo and Beatrice Barton, Dane still lives at home with his parents in rural Hennepin County, west of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Danes employment at the convenience store abruptly ends with an early morning robbery that sends him to the hospital and places him in conflict with his employer, Chester Reynolds, who struggles to rescue his three convenience stores from bankruptcy. After recovering from injuries incurred at the robbery, Dane refuses to return to the convenience store. He moves on with his life, accepting a position with a telemarketing firm where he meets Ashley Ryland, his first serious romantic relationship. From telemarketing, Dane moves into real estate sales, which takes him to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and a confrontation with his former employer, Chester Reynolds. In Mexico, Reynolds has sought refuge from prosecution for fraud and collusion back in the Twin Cities.

WE ALL DESERVE TO BE FREE Once upon a time, we were free to go wherever we chose. It wasn’t so long ago. The history of humanity, is a tale of constant motion. People are supposed to move about. We have imaginations which encourage us to dream about life in other places, bodies which are built to roam, and hands which can make an array of vehicles. A few of us even possess the “Wanderlust Gene”, which encourages us to take risks – to sail across unchartered oceans, and launch ourselves towards faraway planets. Some of us are forced to relocate. Lots of us choose to migrate. A few of us belong to nomadic communities. But if one thing is clear, it’s that mobility improves our societies. Emigrants send back billions in remittances – helping to reduce poverty, and inspiring their peers to upskill. Immigrants do the work that their hosts are unwilling or unable to perform. They sustain economies which have ageing populations. They establish industries, invent products, create jobs, increase wages, fuel growth, pay taxes, and enrich our cultures – enhancing our music, arts, sports, languages and cuisine. It's time to celebrate movement! It’s time to demand our freedom! It’s time for open borders! This book explains why – making the historical, scientific, economic, cultural, political and philosophical cases for free movement.
