Everything burns

Roman Carruthers gets the call that drags him back to Jefferson Run, Virginia: his father is in a coma after a brutal car crash, and the family business, a local crematorium, is hanging by a thread. At home, Roman finds his sister Neveah holding everything together and his brother Dante in deep debt to dangerous people.

The crash starts to look less like bad luck and more like a warning, and Roman’s tidy, numbers first life stops mattering fast. He tries to solve the problem the only way he knows, with money and leverage, but the men circling their family do not negotiate like clients.

As Neveah digs into the long unanswered question of their mother’s disappearance, Roman is pulled into work that stains his hands and rewrites his limits. Protecting his family might mean becoming the one thing he never wanted to be.
