Luke McBain has taken a job at his family's Louisiana timber mill to keep an eye on his brother, Paul. Sawdust is in McBain's blood, but his blood's going to flow if he doesn't watch his back.

Times are hard, and people want him dead - but this axe handle-wielding, God-fearing Southern man isn't going down without a fight!
