In the Sabine Bottoms, where the dark swamps of East Texas bleed into Louisiana, Clay, a white boy of twelve with a “redbone” uncle, straddles all the most dangerous lines in the South of the 1940s. When the U.S. Army moves into the secluded region and begins drilling for oil to support the war, money, power, and race get shuffled in a volatile mix. And Clay, the Ku Klux Klan, a serial killer, a Texas Ranger, and an old man thirsty for revenge are set on an explosive collision course.
