      Imagine a world devoid of violence--a world where fists can't hit, guns don't kill, and bombs can't destroy. The U.S. president must find a new way to wage war. The Pope ponders whether the Commandment "Thou Shalt Not Kill" is still relevant. A dictator takes his own life after realizing that the violence he used to control his people is no longer an option. In the first days after the change, seven people who have experienced violence struggle to adapt to this radical new paradigm: Although violence is no longer possible, that doesn't mean that some among us won't keep trying. Mindless cruelty is still alive and well--and those bent on destruction will seek the most devious means to achieve it
