Hits to the Dome: The Chronicles of a Small Town, Vol. 1 (Hits to the Dome, #1-6)

Worcester, New Hampshire, is a cesspool. It used to be a nice town until a wave of wealthy and clueless liberals took charge. Rome, Dakota, Richie, and Donny are four 14-year-old boys who have to live in this collapsing hellscape, and they hate it. Everywhere they turn, there’s a bum shooting up or taking a dump. Stoned hippies stroll down the street with an aura of arrogance and self-satisfaction. At school, their commie teachers no longer bother with teaching actual subjects. Instead, all they do is praise themselves for their activism and force their viewpoints on their students. It seems like the four friends can’t even walk home without some random demonstration blocking their way. The boys devise various plots to act out against the lunacy, setting them at odds with both the cops and the new-age Marxist regime. In a world full of parents, police, protesters, and pedophiles, the four friends are desperately trying to get by. The perils are numerous — diversity festivals, molestation shacks, spaced-out elderly drivers listening to NPR, bum fights, shanty towns, and drug-addicted vagrants are all commonplace — but our valiant heroes will fight to the last man.
