In 2011, Elijah Mercer, a former gang enforcer turned quiet Missouri farmer, is forced back into a life of gun violence when two FBI agents reopen a 12-year-old bank robbery that left his crew scattered and presumed dead. To protect his wife, his son, and the land he fought to rebuild, Elijah is coerced into hunting the four men he once called brothers—each now ruling their own violent empires across the United States. As Elijah tracks them state by state, he confronts the twisted reflections of the man he could have become if he had never walked away. The deeper he goes, the more the line between justice and revenge begins to disappear, especially as innocent blood continues to be spilled in his name. Haunted by the betrayal that left him for dead, Elijah must decide whether redemption is earned through mercy or paid for with violence. Behind the scenes, the FBI’s true intentions slowly surface, revealing that Elijah himself is the final loose end meant to be erased. In a world where sins never stay buried, redemption becomes the most dangerous lie of all.
