America teeters on the edge. As Donald Trump rallies his base for reelection, paranoia surges-- Covid spreads, militias rise, and whispers of a stolen election grow louder. In Arkansas, firebrand preacher-turned-Governor Chick Hecklethorne faces a challenge from Colonel Bedford Stuart Jackson, a Civil War- obsessed reactionary running under the People's Party banner with dreams of a " New Confederacy of the West." When wealthy liberal Bingham Proctor Jr. jumps into the race to split the vote, the stage is set for a surreal political showdown. Caught in the chaos is Waymon Reo Wilde, a haunted sniper turned revolutionary, and Jackson's wife-- a former sex worker who delivers a child that upends everything. In The Great Awakening, Donald Hays delivers a sharp, darkly comic vision of a fractured nation veering off the rails-- where power, delusion, and desperation collide in unforgettable ways.
