Synopsis
When a corrupt Kentucky politician is murdered, officials have no idea who did it. But the victim’s wildcard son, aggressive and unpredictable, decides to track down the killer himself.
While Gene is growing up on the family’s remote farm where his best friend is a lonely old soldier, his father spends most of his days in the county seat. When World War II breaks out, Gene quickly marries his sweetheart and heads off to fight. He returns a changed man. Though he accepts a job working for his father as a deputy sheriff, they still don’t see eye to eye. As Gene struggles with the emotional toll the war took on him, his father worries about the political ramifications of his son’s outbursts. But everything suddenly changes when his father is murdered.
This suspenseful thriller transports you to postwar Kentucky, a down-home place where everyone is just trying to keep it together. Gene must decide whether the murder was committed by out-of-state racketeers, or by two rogue government agents who’ve been poking around, or by one of the Blankenships, a family with an old grudge.
Whoever it is, Gene knows for sure that justice will be served—one way or another.
