Birmingham, 1921.
An independent unit monitors invisible pressure building beneath the city-unrest that follows precise, unnatural patterns. When every escalation begins narrowing toward one man, Evan realizes he is no longer containing the force threatening Birmingham.

Quietly cosmic and psychologically restrained, The Crimson Battalion explores what it costs to become indispensable.
