The Bay Area, 1979—Mac and Kathleen Murphy seem to have it all, living the American dream and enjoying the good life, until they’re not. The biggest nightmare of their lives takes place when Mac is forced to defend himself during an attempted armed robbery at his gun store, the Golden Eagle Trading Post. The would-be thief has an older, meaner brother with connections to the Aryan Brotherhood who vows to avenge his brother’s death. The Murphys find themselves desperately struggling to survive, but Mac discovers that an act of kindness during his time in Vietnam has resulted in a brotherhood of his own and a group of unlikely saviors right under his nose. Populated with street criminals, police detectives, bail bondsmen, mob enforcers, loan sharks, and a quartet of prostitutes traveling the Pacific Northwest in a mobile home, The Shopkeeper travels from South Vietnam to San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Alabama during a tumultuous chapter of our nation’s history.
