The Great Depression lingers on in Mississippi, where the living is hard-especially for Judas Cain, who's simply trying to survive when he unknowingly incurs the wrath of Brad Menifee, the most dangerous man in the state. Normally, Judas would hop the next freight train out of town, but not only has he fallen in love, he's found a job working for a family he unexpectedly cares about. Yard Man tells the story of a simple man struggling to find love and happiness in a changing and violent world as World War II looms on the horizon.
