After a shocking accident, Silas Tucker’s legendary football career is suddenly over.

​Humbled, but never defeated, he returns to his backwoods hometown, Cross Rivers, North Carolina, where his father was murdered.

​He goes back to what’s left of his family and their small, struggling farm.

​He reunites with his best friend in the world–Taylor McCarter Webb, who is now married.

​Then Silas is pulled into a deadly battle with the Dixie Mafia who control drugs, trafficking and murder.

As the suspense crescendos, Silas follows one rule for survival: you don’t ride these country roads alone, or in the dead of night.
