PLOT

In the Summer of 2004, a group of writers formed together to write a three-part controversial book series called “Summer Satire”. But when they find out that their hometown of Maxwell, Georgia has banned all books since last month, they will have to bring out all of their creativity and friendship to convince all of the Politicians and Teachers that books should be free when published, not banned.
