Synopsis
After getting a medical discharge from the military, Jeffery needed some peace and quiet to have a chance to unwind. When asked, his uncle said he could come and spend some time at his small house in the woods of Colorado. The place was just exactly what Jeffery needed and it was very quiet there because his uncle did not even have electricity! Surrounded by national forest lands, the tranquility he found there was just the thing to get his head back on straight. Everything was going great until the nation’s economy started to fall apart. And maybe that small house in the woods was just the spot to ride out any hard times in our troubled nation
