Summary

Koji Steven Sakai drags Thomas Jefferson into a South Pasadena garage for a long-overdue audit. Using the “Dead Air” signal, Koji cross-examines the Founding Father on the massive plot holes in his legacy—from his 600-person forced labor camp to the massive debts that kept his own children in the service entrance. It’s a deep dive into the man who wrote the script for freedom but couldn't afford to live it.
