Criminals are made, not born. In 1927, Andrew Kehoe, made American history in the small town of Bath Township, Michigan when he set three bombs off in an elementary school killing 44 people, constituting the deadliest act of mass-murder in a school in U.S history. Regarded by his neighbors as an intelligent man who stood behind his beliefs, and an excellent handyman, the Bath Consolidated School board elected Andrew as its treasurer. So what drove him to commit such a heinous crime? When he was a young teenager, he watched his stepmother die right in front of his eyes... it was considered an accident.. but was it? Now, almost 40 years after her death, Andrew is dealing with his ill-stricken wife, the foreclosure of his farmhouse, and taxes going up because of the school's superintendent's money mismanagement. He fights to lower taxes to no avail. He grows angrier and more frustrated because no one will stand behind him. He is accused of beating and killing one of his horses on his farm. He is left in debt of his wife's medical bills. Andrew decides he can't live anymore and wants revenge along with it. Over a year he lays out the plans to bomb the entire school campus. Going unnoticed by everyone, he plants bombs under the school's basement and wings. He warns people in the school system just a week before their final day. He also takes the fate of his wife's life in his hands. Was he born with an evil within him, or has society corrupted him? In 2012, our wall street is being occupied by the "99%". Was Andrew Kehoe a part of that statistic? Did it all begin with him? Based on a true story that's never been told.
