About
A mere five years into the future, the brutal government-sanctioned regime, The Boots, executes a carefully orchestrated genocidal campaign called The Renovation. Their target? The Others: racialized communities, the disabled, the elderly and LGBTQ folks, all of whom are labelled, dehumanized, refused access to basic needs, put into labour camps or killed. Escaping persecution is Kay, a gay man of Jamaican/Filipino descent. After his livelihood as a drag queen and the love of his life, Evan, are taken from him, he goes into hiding with help from Liv, a white ally. But soon after, news arrives that an uprising is coming. On a small farm in southwestern Ontario, Kay joins the resistance alongside Bahadur, a transmasculine refugee, and Firuzeh, a queer frontline worker. Guiding them in the use of weapons and close-quarters combat is Beck, a gay white ally and rogue army officer. Contrasting cultures--the humour of the drag queens and the terrifying reign of the Boots--Catherine Hernandez brings us a vision of the future the seeds of which are all too apparent today. Crosshairs is a cautionary tale filled with fierce and vibrant characters, who want only for Others like them to thrive and be loved as their true selves.
