In the shadowed heart of the Appalachian Mountains lies Bellevue - a coal town built on grit, grime, and generations of secrets. For decades, its people descended into the mines, chipping away at the earth to claim its wealth of coal. But Joe Galloway took a different path. As an outsider with a controversial strip-mining operation, he carved out a fortune in a town that didn't easily welcome change. His success was met with quiet resentment and whispered rumors - whispers that Bellevue's past dealings with organized crime weren't entirely history. For fifteen years, Joe lived under the radar, raising a family and keeping his own past locked away. But when Mountaineer Mining set its sights on a coveted stretch of land, a bitter rivalry was born. Tensions boiled over, and the competition turned personal. Old grudges resurfaced, and Joe was forced to confront the side of himself he'd tried to bury - the side that knew how to end a fight, no matter the cost. In Bellevue, secrets aren't buried - they're just waiting to be unearthed.
