In August of 1975, two talented and popular teenagers, Myron Parsons and Lori Leigh Cole, decide one night to go parking. They find a secluded spot just off of Scuffletown Road, an old wagon trail route steeped in mystery and decades of calamity. The next morning, Bud Culdock, who carries the baggage of a checkered, violent past, discovers their lifeless bodies in Myron's '65 GTO with the engine running hot and smoking. Ten years later, Mitch Beam is failing in his job as a case-troller for the Judge Smack Jack TV Show. In the midst of that struggle, he returns, persona non grata, to his hometown of Fountainville, South Carolina and finds that the town is still reeling and grappling over the shocking deaths of the two teenagers. Mitch works things out for an extended stay, and as he begins to troll cases filed in the local small claims court, he becomes intrigued again by the unsettled riddles and rumors surrounding the tragedy of Myron and Lori Leigh. Mitch stirs up unexpected reactions from the colorful and complex characters of Fountainville and triggers extraordinary encounters with grace, judgment, revenge and redemption.
