'Nash never thought he'd return to Noirville, his dead beat hometown. But he returns to help his stepsister, Jacy, escape her abusive stepfather, Noirville's tyrannical sheriff. When their escape is cut short by the discovery of a dead body and a case of cash, Nash and Jacy become entangled in a deadly war between the regional drug lord and Jacy's evil stepfather. They must set the record straight and take justice in to their own hands if they ever hope to escape Noirville alive.'
