Lives Less Ordinary

With whaling oil becoming less in demand due to the discovery of cheaper mineral rich tar on land, the rich and powerful in society seek other ways to invest their money and rule with absolute power. For one such ruthless man, a village in rural England becomes such a target, changing its people and way of life forever. As he inflicts his will on the population, supported as always by his enforcers, the people are forced to take drastic action in a bid to regain their freedom and escape this place once called home. However, if caught, the cost is severe, especially if you are of personal interest to HIM, as he is ruthless and will stop at nothing to keep total control of all that he prevails and rules over. Even in escape, it is not the end to the pursuit as you are constantly looking over your shoulder, waiting and watching for those that are relentlessly looking to search you out. Your thoughts regularly turn to the fate of friends and family left behind, how they are coping and, in some cases, are they still living! At what point does it become too much to take and the fight back begin, for there is only so much a person can take before something snaps inside and the need to end the nightmare takes over.
