Mountain folk have a code all their own.

In the winter of 1924, deep inside South Carolina’s infamous “Dark Corner,” a prohibition agent and a volunteer constable closed in on a moonshine still at the foot of Hogback Mountain. What happened next would leave one man dead, two families shattered, and a mountain code put to the test in a courtroom.

This is the story of betrayal, loyalty, and a father and son sentenced to die.
