Set in a near-future America, The Sodium War introduces us to Rafe and Bri, a small family just trying to survive in the shadow of relentless control. Amid the turmoil, they navigate the oppressive presence of the “Brown Suits,” government agents enforcing compliance, while wrestling with the complex tensions of wearing dissenter bands that mark them as a different kind of threat. Forced to endure life in their assigned ghetto, Rafe and Bri’s faith and courage are continually tested.
