Fired from his job, recently divorced, and nearly broke, Tucker Merrill is ready to snap when he receives word of his brother's suicide.

In full retreat, Tucker returns to his hometown of Natchez, Mississippi, where the local industries have cut and run, the old southern mansions are devoid of visitors, and all that remains are gambling, hard drugs, and some serious cases of arrested development.

The unforgiving criticism of Tucker's father coupled with the less than sympathetic ear of his childhood sweetheart, forces a brutal reassessment of his life. However, before he can reconcile his past and his present, he'll have to steer clear of a group of Neo-Nazi's hellbent on kick-starting a race war in the 21st Century shambles of the Old South.
