Official synopsis Publisher
Andy Carver and Byron Walker are basically good guys. They just happen to have a highly questionable side-hustle.
Andy was a soldier. Now he’s a tractor parts salesman with an adrenaline deficit. Walker is a middle school PE teacher who needs two part-time jobs just to make ends meet. Another thousand dollars a month would make a big difference for Walker. When an opportunity presents itself, Andy and Walker commit their first burglary, with more to follow.
Then they come across a weapon that has to have been stolen from the military. Andy feels obligated to report it to the Army, which means tiptoeing around what he and Walker were doing in a place they didn’t belong. Soon, he’s in an uneasy alliance with two military police investigators and an ATF agent.
All of this takes place in Raleigh, North Carolina during the early days of COVID-19 and the social and political upheaval of that time. Walker has a run-in with a group of anti-lockdown protestors who turn out to be connected to the stolen weapon. Later, he and Andy are caught up in a Black Lives Matter protest that turns into a riot.
Andy and Walker learn that right and wrong aren’t always black and white.
