Rocket is back.

For Rocket and Dot, life at Broken Ride Acres rolls along—hammering out iron, adopting horses others would put down, and enjoying arguments in the martial arts ring.

Breakfast on the front porch had become a simple ritual with Mike walking over from his new house being built.

Rocket is learning to be her calm and caring Jolie self again—sometimes. Putting aside the time in prison, marrying deputy Punchy is on the back burner... but there didn't seem to be any hurry.

Until Manuel shows up with a problem

From the right side of Atlanta, a mother and her teen daughter are scared and running for their lives. The men chasing them have shown no hesitancy to bury them in a swamp for what they know.
