In a rural Southern county where land stretches farther than help and everyone knows who you belong to, survival is learned early-and paid for often.
This is a story told through many voices: mothers and sons, brothers and daughters, men who protect and men who prey. Family is a shield until it becomes a liability. Silence keeps you alive. Loyalty keeps you trapped.
Criminal power moves quietly through back roads and farm fields, deciding who eats, who bleeds, and who disappears. Violence doesn't arrive all at once-it seeps in, claim by claim. Bodies fall. Lives fracture. Daniel comes too close to death. What begins as endurance turns into reckoning.
There are no clean choices here. Love doesn't save anyone without taking something in return. Trauma lingers, shaping every decision, every bond, every failure to escape.
Told through multiple points of view, this is a dark, character-driven drama rooted in family, trauma, and survival-set in rural America, where justice is personal, danger is familiar, and leaving costs more than staying.
Contains mature themes including sexual violence, explicit sexual content, and graphic violence.
