The world Jacob McNeely lives in is crueller than most. His father runs a methodically organised meth ring, with local authorities on the dime to turn a blind eye to his dealings. Having dropped out of high school, Jacob has been working for this father for years, all on the promise that his payday will come eventually. But when a fatal mistake changes everything, he's faced with a choice: stay and appease his father, or leave the mountains with the girl he loves.
