When Jesse McDermitt and his friends take leave together and go home to help with hurricane recovery, they never expect to run into anything more troublesome than helping raise and repair a few flooded boats, sunk at the docks.
Labelle is a quiet rural town on the Caloosahatchee River, with a roughly equal mix of white, black, and Hispanic residents, along with a small contingent of indigenous people, mostly Seminole. Nearly all of the town's residents are involved in agriculture, and it's the kind of town where everyone knows one another and friends are more like family, regardless of heritage.
So when racial anxiety rises after a string of arson fires, everyone becomes nervous and alarmed. Tensions rise, with Jesse and his friends, Rusty Thurman and Billy Rainwater, thrust right into the middle of it.
In a high-stakes game of watching and being watched, everyone is a suspect. Big Citrus to the west and Big Sugar to the east are both trying to keep the lid on the workforce. Or are they?
Who wins in a battle of culture versus progress? But more importantly…
Who will die?
Genre: Thriller
