From acclaimed writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Warlords of Appalachia, Last Sons of America), and introducing artist Scott Van Domelen, comes the first in an interconnecting series of chapters in the tradition of David Lapham's Stray Bullets, Brubaker/Phillips' Criminal, and Pulp Fiction. Each chapter explores the final days of a murdered soldier from a new perspective, each one exposing the criminal side of a small industrial Pennsylvania town. In Chapter One, "Killing Marcus," after a life-or-death situation, a battered wife and mother has until sunrise to cover up her husband's murder, not knowing that her actions have set her up for a confrontation with some even more dangerous people.
