Quinn Colson is a hero in the classic mold: stoic, capable, and guided by an unwavering moral compass. After years of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan as an Army Ranger, he returns to the deep South not looking for a fight, but finding one anyway. His military training makes him a formidable opponent to the criminals deeply embedded in his home county.

However, Quinn is more than just an action hero. He is a man grappling with the complexities of home, family legacy, and the changing face of the South. As sheriff, he tries to bring order to a lawless land, often finding himself outnumbered and outgunned, relying on his wits and a small circle of trusted allies.
