How can one explain the impossible to those unwilling to hear?
On the run from the blight, Jupiter has a surprising reunion, followed quickly by an even more surprising encounter.
As Jupiter navigates a tense new situation, Jefferson welcomes Ben Franklin and his apprentice, Fiona Pratt, to Monticello.
Wine and conversation flow freely, but something is amiss, and their revelries may soon come to an abrupt end.

Song: Down Among The Dead Men

Music Featured in Chapter 1: For The Return of Jupiter
When you're down and alone, all others left
Your heart ravaged through, your hopes bereft

Your energy low, your soul downtrod
Your body entombed beneath the sod

Left all alone, now he must die
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
Down, down, down, down
Down among the dead men let him lie

READ the full lyrics.

Music and Original Arrangements by Jackie Presti with Lyrics and lead vocals by Ryan Knowles.

Song: Ballad of The Bounty Hunter

Music featured in Chapter 2: That Means You're Still Alive
Why come ye hither, fugitives,
Your minds what madness fills?
In our valleys there is danger,
And there's danger in our hills.

Oh hear ye not the singing
Of our voices wild and free?
Full soon you'll hear the ringing
Of the rifle from the tree.
