This explosive coming of age adventure set in Waco, Texas in 1952 explores the lifestyles and prejudices of that most interesting time and place. It is the tale of bigoted, pre-segregation-era serial killers versus a naive teenage boy. When the bodies start turning up, things spin out of control involving the Negro community, the Klan, the upstanding citizens, and the law, with J.J. caught in the middle. Nobody could predict what would take place.
