You've just spent eight months on house arrest for a crime you didn't commit, and now that you're free, you're intent on journeying home to Sherman, the small town you can't recall growing up in. After discovering your cousin and guardian had been keeping the fact that your parents were in prison from you, you're determined to meet them and find out the truth. The only thing is, Sherman has problems of it's own. The mayor, your distant relative, has spent years trying to acquire every piece of land in Sherman, claiming it rightfully belongs to his family--one you had no idea you even belonged to.
Before you have the chance to tackle the question of your parent's imprisonment, you stumble upon the murder of another cousin, Old Man Sherman, a central figure in the town and a local celebrity. There's a race to lay claim to his land and his wealth, land that has somehow fallen right into your lap. His death ignites a town war that had been building for ages; the police are sabotaging evidence, local crime syndicates and drug dealers are trying to bank on it, old family feuds break out anew, and the hidden history of Sherman holds secrets still unknown. Do you have what it takes to uncover Sherman's secrets? The biggest one of all: Who really killed Old Man Sherman? And why?
