In 2024 in a small town in Kansas, a group of citizens bear the weight of the country's ignorance and greed. Forced to work on Independence Day, the group awaits the toll of the town bell. This bell marks the beginning of the end for the group. Each member has their reasons for embarking on this dangerous uprising but none feel it as deeply as Shanera Davis.
Shanera, a nearly 30-year-old woman has watched over the past few years as her life crumbled beneath the blatant lies of her city government. Though nothing struck her as hard as the day her husband and son left for a bit of before-school celebrating, and never returned. Hardened by her grief and enraged by the injustice running rampant through the federal government, Shanera joins a group of twenty-five in her workplace. Little does the American population know that this militia has more up its sleeve than the overthrowing of one small town.
As the bell tolls, the end begins. Will Shanera's last moments be spent watching the country crumble or revive the liberties and freedom it once pledged?

A fourth-generation neo-Nazi with blood on his knuckles and a five-year prison scar on his soul, Cole trusts only his name and the men who share his views-until the night they turn on him. Left to die on a snow-covered road out in the middle of nowhere, breath thinning, he welcomes the cold when it comes... and then opens his eyes to an angel. But.. She isn't what he was taught angels look like. Angel LeeAnna Brooks didn't plan to find a stranger bleeding in her path. She didn't plan to move faster than the fear growing inside of her, while hoping and praying that the man before her had no affiliations with the devil himself. After the swastika tattoos screamed their presence beneath his blood-stained clothes, Angel feared the man might be a demon, and she had no idea how to handle that revelation. Their collision is gasoline and a match: a Black woman hiding from pain and loss, a white man raised in a creed of rot, both trapped on a secluded homestead where winter is closing in and secrets stalk the walls. As enemies circle and old lies unravel, Cole is forced to confront the poison in his bones-and the one person willing to see the boy he buried alive. This is not a safe love story. It's a reckoning.
