The year is 2030, and the most important decision of Damien Driver's brief tenure as governor of Arizona is to decide whether or not he should stay the execution of a heretical cult leader. Damien's conservative constituency - and just about everyone else with an opinion - wants the treasonous woman dead. However, the party's single largest contributor, the Bishop of Phoenix, as well as the prison chaplain plead with the governor for clemency: the bishop citing the Church's stance against capital punishment; the chaplain believing she is the second coming of Christ. Already convinced that the woman is wholly innocent, Damien searches frantically for a legal loophole to justify a stay of execution only to discover that there are forces at work trying to make the decision for him.

Nothing's free. Especially success. Everyone has to pay the price some time. For Mitchell Treadwell, that time is now. Mitchell is president of an international conglomerate. He has a gorgeous house in the affluent suburbs, a loving wife and kids who adore him. Then one day his son goes missing, snatched off a street corner that's been the location of several recent abductions. Mitchell has a pretty good idea who's responsible, but by revealing what he knows to the police, he may inadvertently put everything he has in jeopardy. Now, Mitchell must hunt down his son's abductor and save his boy's life, all while keeping the police at arm's length. Commuters is a neo-noir thriller that explores how a good man, motivated by his love for and devotion to his family, can do unconscionable things while dealing with the internal strife his actions create.
