Set during the Vietnam War in the South, this gripping tale weaves together crime and suspense, offering profound insights into the human psyche. Gibby's older brothers have faced the war's harsh realities—one lost his life, while the other returned as a hardened veteran, recently released from prison. Jason, the surviving brother, struggles to connect with Gibby, whom he hasn't seen in years. In an attempt to bond, he invites Gibby for a day at the lake, filled with sunshine, whisky, and older women. However, their outing takes a dark turn when they encounter a prison transfer bus. A drunken taunt from one of the women incites chaos, leading to her brutal murder soon after.

To clear his brother's name, Gibby must evade the police and delve into Jason's shadowy world of drugs, firearms, and outlaw motorcycle gangs. What he uncovers reveals a grim reality: the truth behind the murders, the impact of Vietnam on his brother, and the dangerous forces that threaten their lives. This raw crime fiction explores the lasting scars of family, war, and incarceration.
