From the chaos of war men are changed. Fears are lost and traded for new ones. For some the stress of life and death cause men to act out and strive for the control they no longer have. For two men, Thomas Stringer and James Carter, they decided to handle war time problems on their own terms. They headed up a group of A.W.O.L. Army soldiers dubbed "bummers." The uncontrolled fury and bedlam they unleashed upon a certain innocent plantation owner would haunt their family for a century. A hundred years later, when fate brought the two grandsons of Thomas Stringer and James Carter together in Madison, Georgia, the sins from a century earlier will be paid for. Edward Stringer and Alex Carter discover the truth behind the atrocities of their ancestor's actions and how to make amends for those actions. Unfortunately for the two men there are sins to be paid for that they never knew about. Both men find out the hard way that the ghosts of the tortured and murdered never forget or forgive.
