Country life in the hot, dry summer of 1938 was, for the most part, uneventful for Henry Cooper and his two brothers. At least it was, until Sheriff Enoch Cobb required the boys to help retrieve a dead body from a shack in the woods. It was thought to be an accident until Henry and his brother, Levi, overheard a conversation between notorious Travis Shanks and another man. Little did Henry know the discovery of truth would also lead to the discovery of love.
