A roughneck, redneck, and brawler, Jebediah Shaw had a wild streak wider than a country mile when he left home, and he was happy to have a war to fight. Now, battle scarred and weary, he's returned to the girl of his dreams and the small East Texas town he calls home. Jebediah is anxious to start the "real life" he'd promised himself in the desert of Iraq. Only the new demands of becoming a college student, husband, and provider soon prove to be a heavy burden while trudging away as the muscle for a local bondsman. It's a handout of a job from an old friend. Even that can't save him. Running down bail-jumpers and muscling deadbeat dads isn't enough. Swarming in debt, consumed by his failures, staring his own demons in the face, and drowning in the widening gulf of despair he's created with the woman he loves so dearly, he knows he's going to lose it all. Then someone with too much money throws him a life preserver. In exchange for a simple task, one if the few he's qualified for, he can be back on his feet. He takes it without question, knowing full well it can't be that simple. Because in East Texas, a land on the ragged edge of the Old South, where Gothic mysticism collides violently with the rugged individualism of the Old West, nothing is ever quite what it seems, nothing is ever easy, and when it rains, it pours.
