Two seemingly unrelated events on the same day in different parts of the world have a life-altering effect years later in a small town in the North Georgia Mountains. Framed as a teenager for a crime he didn't commit, Jim Cole arrived in Blue Ridge, Georgia looking for revenge. His goal was to seek out yet another wealthy family who used their power and influence to prey on regular people and to make them pay for their deeds by adding them to his rising body count. What he didn't count on was a chance meeting with a local teacher that would alter the course of his life. For the first time, he finds himself in uncharted territory. The loving guidance of an elderly couple and the unconditional love of a beautiful woman make him realize he can have a different life. The question is, does he have the courage to reach for it?
