Benedict Carpenter has returned to his home in the Ozarks after twelve years in The City. The small town of Po’Dunk, Arkansas is very much the one he remembered. Down to the ghost stories that he told himself were just a youthful fiction. Can he find his footing in the hills again? Does he even want to? Maybe the last twelve years didn’t change much in the Ozarks, but change is coming on his heels. Both the living and the dead will need to prepare.
