In the humid, spanish-moss draped world of Ferraday, Louisiana, Joe Fontaine, the aging patriarch of a sprawling Dixie Mafia empire, is dying. For decades, he's controlled everything that moves through his small-town kingdom – from the interstate truck stop to the shadowy dealings on Main Street. Now, with only months to live, he must choose an heir. But in the Fontaine family, loyalty is a currency as volatile as a hand grenade with a loose pin.
The "audition" for his tarnished crown pits three vastly different children against each other in a high-stakes game of ambition, betrayal, and survival:
