Vince Gibson, private investigator operating out of Oklahoma City, did
not like taking insurance jobs. But, with the prospect of money in the bank and prodding from the insurance agent, he accepts

and dangerous when he turns up dead. Vince attempts to find the truth in a small, rural community wrapped up in a past that
refuses to die. In hot pursuit of the killer, Vince uncovers drug smuggling, meth dealers, and a hidden secret that brought
murder to this quiet community.

things makes the farm an exciting place to be.
