A witness no one trusts. A truth no one wants.
In a small town like Briarwood, the past is never far from the present.
One night along the River Road, just outside of Briarwood, Elijah Turner is beaten, killed, and thrown into the Tallaroa River. His truck is burned and destroyed. No one saw it happen - except the most unlikely witness: Amos Jenkins.
Once Briarwood's favored son, Amos went off to war and came home a broken man, haunted by what he saw. Now he spends his nights drinking, trying to quiet a past that won't let him sleep.
As Amos begins to piece together what he saw the night of the murder, the truth reveals a tangled web tied to Briarwood's most powerful family - testing lifelong friendships and loyalties, and forcing him to face his own demons as he searches for justice for Elijah and his family.
