This story takes place during the fall of 1975, in the town of Dungan County, 20 miles from Muskogee, Oklahoma. Several years after the great Civil Rights Era, America was still divided among ethnic groups and racial violence was acutely prevalent in certain parts of the country. For two budding teenagers, Caleb Moreton, a White boy from Muskogee and Gabriel (Gabri) Walker, a Black boy from Chicago, Illinois, never learned those lessons. They were two loners who found compatibility through tragedy, until one day, a brooding mysterious stranger reveals the truth about the past that will forever change the lives of Caleb and Gabri. Surrounded by a toxic world of hatred and violence neither of them were prepared to understand, their newfound friendship will be put to the ultimate test as they embark on an adventure of brotherhood survival.
