Story Details
A Fresh Start Comes With a Price
It is 1949. Newly released from prison, war veteran Aloysius Archer arrives in Poca City with a short list of rules and one chance to rebuild his life. A debt collection job looks simple at first, until local grudges begin to surface.
Archer answers to a watchful parole officer, a powerful businessman expects results, and a quick-witted woman reads the room better than anyone. Each step draws him deeper into a conflict that refuses to stay polite.
When a murder shocks the town, suspicion lands quickly. To keep his freedom, Archer has to separate truth from rumor and decide who deserves his trust before the next mistake costs more than time.
