Peaceful Junction looks like the kind of town that sleeps easy at night.
That's the lie it tells strangers.
When two lawmen ride in beneath a freshly painted welcome sign, they find a town that smiles too quickly and watches too closely. No crimes reported. No trouble spoken of. Yet every man in Peaceful Junction knows who truly holds the streets-and what happens to anyone who crosses them.
As the truth seeps out one careful question at a time, the welcome wears thin. Guns are drawn. Loyalties fracture. And the lawmen must decide whether justice can survive in a town that has learned how to hide its sins behind politeness and fear.
A hard-riding Western of false peace, quiet tyranny, and the moment when good men discover they are no longer welcome.
