The grieving Walters family faces near ruin when their deceased son has left them a seemingly impossible debt to pay. They pay as much as they can handle but when the men who want the money come to burn their family to the ground, they must find a way to save themselves from the very men who fought to protect them in the Civil War not several months ago.
Grace Walters finds herself spun in a web of darkness when she trusts a group of thieves who might be more dangerous then the men they are supposedly helping them be free of. When everyone is evil is there any light left anywhere? Left in anyone? Or has everyone finally chosen to show their real stone hearts that they've been hiding under layers of a facade that has faded over time.
