Oliver Sherman

Sherman Oliver is a veteran who sets out in search of the soldier who saved him back in the war. That man, Franklin Page, has long since moved on, with a wife, two children, and a reliable job in a reliably safe and quiet rural town. Upon arriving, Sherman seems at first a harmless, if awkward, shell of a man. But as he inserts himself further into the Pages’ life, he reveals himself to be an angry, unstable individual prone to great jealousy and deep resentment. The stability Franklin has worked so hard to establish is soon threatened, and the violence he believed he’d left behind in the war begins to re-emerge and cloud over both the household and the town itself. It’s the story of two men who’ve taken utterly different paths after the war; a man who’s managed to integrate himself back into society, and another who has refused to relinquish the past and is baffled by societal norms.
