Hidden in plain sight amidst the good people of Blue Ruby, Virginia, John L Porter, battles two sexual predators to save his sixteen-year-old niece Cleo: one, his and Cleo's preacher; the other, less cunning but more dangerous to Cleo, John L himself. Tormented in his desire, John L plans to provoke Reverend Wells to kill him to provide Cleo with the means to escape their Melungeon heritage that has benighted his own soul. Friends and family, facing their own demons, struggling to find their own salvation, are sucked into a vortex of love and death, grappling to become good at living.
