His crusade is cut short when its futility is brought to light by a succession of devastating tragedies.
Embittered by the injustice that surrounds him Jobe remembers his vow of revenge, swearing to visit it on those he holds responsible for his years of struggle, he embarks on a journey the consequences of which will reverberate on both sides of the Mersey.
