Summerton is a small and unusual bit of the world. A place that may or may not actually exist. It's a mountain municipal technicality, and the only reason anyone who's not from there has heard the name Summerton is because of the cemetery sign and the marker pointing to it from out on the highway. Over the generations, Summerton has survived everything the outside world has thrown at it, from the miners to the loggers to the poisoning textile mills. Now, it faces its biggest threat yet: Brother Eli. The new preacher at Mountain Baptist Church of the Risen Christ came to the mountain to save souls and to redeem his own. Instead, he triggers a sordid and winding tale mixing faith, politics, drugs, murder, and revenge all amidst the eternal truth of the mountain.
