In November 1991, Marvin Heemeyer took a vacation to Grand Lake, Colorado, fell in love, and decided to make it his home. Less than a year later, in April of 1992, he found himself the owner of a muffler shop he never intended to buy. Six months later, he tried to be a good citizen and connect the property to the town sewer system. What followed was a decade of delays, miscommunications and lies which ate away at Marv's business and his hope. In July of 2002, Marv stumbled across an auction ad for a Komatsu D355A bulldozer. Around this time, Marv began to perceive that he - and his bulldozer - were to be the instruments of God's retribution against the corrupt.
