"All wickedness is but little to the wickedness of a woman: let the portion of a sinner fall upon her." - Ecclesiasticus 25:19
As a direct descendant of the 19th century vigilante gang, the Bald Knobbers, Ezekiel Woods, Jr. has been indoctrinated into a world ruled by violence and a literal interpretation of the bible his entire life.
Now, over a hundred years later, Zeke continues his ancestors' crusade, spending his days camouflaged as an aloof middle-aged grocery store sacker and his nights in a farmhouse cellar, preparing captives' souls for their ultimate destiny: redemption or death.
His latest abductee, an indomitable Texan working her way through a third-life crisis, chooses another option: escape.
Zeke must recapture this lost sheep or face a consequence far worse than any worldly fate: that God has forsaken him.
