Would you help a man being beaten by the police? That’s the dilemma Luke Archer faced, more a reflex than a choice. The officer involved was Lizzie Lambert’s husband, and a heated argument had left him on edge that morning. Police accountability activist Curtis Mays filmed the traffic stop, escalating tensions with verbal insults that quickly spiraled out of control. Luke, leaving the feed store, found himself caught in the chaos and ended up behind bars. With Luke imprisoned, his wife Mary and their infant daughter struggled to manage the farm and fend off bill collectors. Determined to penalize Luke, Lizzie, the police chief, and the prosecutor's office were willing to bend the rules. Meanwhile, Curtis wrestled with guilt, feeling responsible for the turmoil he had caused. The town of Carville was divided between supporters of law enforcement and those who had suffered from years of excessive ticketing to sustain a failing government. Will Luke find justice in a corrupt town? Will a jury prioritize their conscience over the law? Adult language and sexual content are present. Readers have praised the author's exploration of racism, police corruption, and domestic violence, highlighting his ability to weave complex narratives that provoke thought and reflection on societal issues.
